Suppose complex IIl in the electron transport chain was mutated such it transported just 2 protons into the intermembrane space, but it was still able to oxidize and reduce its substrates. a) How many NADH molecules would need to be oxidized to generate 6 ATPS and transport them out of the mitochondrion? b) How many ATPS would be made per FADH2?

A few hours after the death of an animal, the corpse will stiffen as a result of continued contraction of muscle tissue (this state is called rigor mortis). This phenomenon is the result of the loss of ATP production in muscle tissue.(a) Consult as shown and describe, in terms of the six-step model of muscle contraction, how a lack of ATP in sarcomeres would result in rigor mortis.(b) The Ca2+ transporter in sarcomeres that keeps the [Ca2+]∼10-7 Mrequires ATP to drive transport of Ca2+ ions across the membrane of thesarcoplasmic reticulum. How would a loss of this Ca2+ transport functionresult in the initiation of rigor mortis?(c) Rigor mortis is maximal at ∼12 hrs after death and by 72 hrs is nolonger observed. Propose an explanation for the disappearance of rigormortis after 12 hrs.

The electron transport chain (ETC), or respiratory chain, is linked to proton movement and ATP synthesis. Select the statements that accurately describe the electron transport chain. Electron carriers are organized into four complexes of proteins and prosthetic groups. Prosthetic groups, such as iron-sulfur centers, are directly involved with electron transfer. Electron transfer in the ETC is coupled to proton transfer from the matrix to the intermembrane space. The reactions of the ETC take place in the outer membrane of mitochondria. Electrons generated by the citric acid cycle in the mitochondrial matrix enter the ETC. The outer membrane of mitochondria is readily permeable to small molecules and hydrogen ions. Electron carriers in the mitochondrial matrix include ubiquinone (coenzyme Q), FMN, and cytochrome c.
