Cyanide is an inhibitor of the electron transport chain that prevents electrons from moving from complex III to complex IV. Which of the following would be true of a cell affected by cyanide? oxygen would be reduced to H2O substrate level phosphorylation would not occur chemiosmosis would occur fewer ATP's would be made by oxidative phosphorylation FADH2 would be oxidized to FAD

The Relative Efficiency of ATP Synthesis in Noncyclic versus Cyclic Photophosphorylation If noncyclic photosynthetic electron transport leads to the translocation of 7 H+/2e- and cyclic photosynthetic electron transport leads to the translocation of 2 H+/e-, what is the relative photosynthetic efficiency of ATP synthesis (expressed as the number of photons absorbed per ATP synthesized) for noncyclic versus cyclic photophosphorylation?

Mitochondrial Abnormalities in Tetralogy of Fallot Tetralogy of Fallot (TF) is a genetic disorder in which heart malformations result in abnormal blood circulation, so oxygen does not reach body cells as it should. With insufficient oxygen to accept electrons at the end of miotchondrial electron transfer chains, too many free radicals form. This damages the mitochondriaand the cells. In 2004, Sarah Kuruvilla studied mitochondria in the heart muscle of TF patients. Some of her results are shown in FIGURE 7.13.

pH and in the Chloroplast Proton-Motive Force (Integrates with Chapter 20.) In mitochondria, the membrane potential () contributes relatively more to p (proton-motive force) than does the pH gradient (pH). The reverse is true in chloroplasts. Why do you suppose that the proton-motive force in chloroplasts can depend more on pH than mitochondria can? Why is () less in chloroplasts than in mitochondria?
