The following two questions refer to the electron transport chain.
a. List, in correct order, the multiprotein complexes through which the electrons carried by NADH are moved. Name the molecule to which these electron are ultimately attached to.
b. List, in correct order, the multiprotein complexes through which the electrons carried by FADH2 are moved. Name the molecule to which these electron are ultimately attached to.
Answer a
The correct order, the multiprotein complexes through which the electrons carried by NADH are moved is :
NADH Complex I (NADH Dehydrogenase) Coenzyme Q Complex III (Cytochrome bc1 complex) Cytochrome C Complex IV (Cytochrome C oxidase) O2 (oxygen molecule) Complex V (ATP synthase) for ATP synthesis.
Electrons are ultimately attached to oxygen molecule
Answer b
The correct order, the multiprotein complexes through which the electrons carried by FADH2 are moved is :
FADH2 Complex II (Succinate dehydrogenase) Coenzyme Q Complex III (Cytochrome bc1 complex) Cytochrome C Complex IV (Cytochrome C oxidase) O2 (oxygen molecule) Complex V (ATP synthase) for ATP synthesis
Electrons are ultimately attached to oxygen molecule
