Questions and Answers

What is the location of the electron transport chain?

  • Intermembrane space
  • Outer mitochondrial membrane
  • Mitochondrial matrix
  • Inner mitochondrial membrane (correct)
  • What is the function of ATP synthase?

  • To pump hydrogen ions across the mitochondrial membrane
  • To transfer electrons to oxygen
  • To generate ATP using the energy from the concentration gradient (correct)
  • To store potential energy in the concentration gradient
  • What is the effect of cyanide on ATP production?

  • It has no effect on ATP production
  • It decreases the potential energy of the concentration gradient
  • It increases ATP production

    Study Notes

    • Mitochondria have highly folded membranes with a large surface area.
    • The electron transport chain is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
    • The electron transport chain pumps hydrogen ions across the membrane, creating a concentration gradient.
    • The concentration gradient stores potential energy, similar to water behind a dam.
    • ATP synthase is a miniature machine that generates ATP using the energy from the concentration gradient.
    • Cyanide blocks the passage of electrons to oxygen, preventing ATP production.
    • The electron transport chain is made up of protein complexes and electron carriers.
    • NADH and FADH2 transfer electrons to the electron transport chain.
    • Oxygen pulls electrons down the transport chain.
    • ATP synthase attaches phosphate groups to ADP molecules to generate ATP.
