Study Notes
Electron Transport Chain
- The electron transport chain takes place in the mitochondrial inner membrane.
- The function of the electron transport chain is to generate energy for the cell by pumping protons outside the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Complex I
- NADH carries 2 electrons to Complex I.
- When NADH releases 2 electrons to Complex I, 4 protons are pumped outside the membrane.
Complex II
- FADH2 carries 2 electrons to Complex II.
- When FADH2 releases 2 electrons to Complex II, 2 protons are pumped outside the membrane.
Complex III
- Electrons from Complex II are transported to Complex III by the molecule CoQ (Coenzyme Q).
- When the electrons arrive at Complex III, 4 protons are pumped outside the membrane.
Complex IV
- Electrons from Complex III are transported to Complex IV by the molecule Cytochrome c.
- When electrons arrive at Complex IV, 2 protons are pumped outside the membrane, and water is formed.
