Using the data of Figure 3.10, predict the sequence of electron carriers in the membrane of an organism growing aerobically that has the following electron carriers: ubiquinone, cytochrome aa3, cytochrome b, NADH, cytochrome c, FAD.
To predict:
The sequence of electron carriers such as ubiquinone, cytochrome aa3, cytochrome b, NADH, cytochrome c, and FAD in the membrane of an organism growing aerobically by using the data of Figure 3.10 in the text book.
Concept introduction:
An oxidation is a process in which electrons are removed from a substance whereas, in reduction process, electrons are added to the substance. The combination of these processes is termed as redox (oxidation-reduction) reaction.
Explanation of Solution
The electron transport chain consists of carriers of protons and electrons, which facilitate their transfer from a primary electron donor to a molecule that acts as the terminal acceptor.
The differences in the redox reaction can be identified by comparing the standard reduction potential (E0’). If E0’ of the substance is more negative than the other, it is identified that it undergoes reduction and if E0’ of the substance is more positive, that means it accepts electron and undergoes an oxidation process.
The sequence of electron carriers in the membrane of an organism growing aerobically and the following electron carriers produced as follows:

- Which of the following statements concerning the complete oxidation of FADH2 in the electron transport chain is NOT true? a. In the final step, electrons from cytochrome c to O2 reducing it to H2O in complex IV, and four protons are transported from the intermembrane space to the matrix. b. In the first step, electrons from FADH2 are transferred in complex II to ubiquinone, which does not transport any proton across the inner mitochondrion membrane. c. In the second step, complex III transfers the electrons from ubiquinone to cytochrome c, and four protons are transported from the matrix to the intermembrane space. d. The complete oxidation of FADH2 causes transfer of 6 protons and yields two ATP.arrow_forwardExplain how would compounds such as NAD+, NADH, ubiquinone, ubiquinol and cytochrome are able to facilitate the transport of electrons in the electron transport chain.

A baker has created a new strain of yeast which contains no cytochrome c gene and, thus, no cytochrome c protein. This will affect what the yeast strain can do to obtain energy. Use the passage to answer the question. Since the air bubbles in bread are generated by yeast, how will the spaces in this bread compare to those in a loaf made using normal yeast? A. more bubbles B. differently-shaped bubbles C. smaller bubbles D. bubbles more on the interior of the loafarrow_forward
