PART C: ESSAY QUESTIONS

1. Explain how electrons from NADH and FADH2 flow through the electron transport chain
with the production of ATP. [10 marks ]
Mark
Electrons within NADH and FADH2 from the Krebs cycle enter the
electron transport chain which (consists of a series of molecules) embedded
in the inner membrane of mitochondrion.

Each molecule contains of one or several electron carrier.

Electrons are passed from one carrier to another at progressively lower

energy levels.

The carrier molecule that receives an electron undergoes reduction, and

the one losing electron is undergoing oxidation.

A small amount of energy is released during each transfer (through the

series of oxidation and reduction in electron transport chain).

Electrons from NADH enter the electron transport chain at NADH

dehydrogenase complex

Whereas electrons from FADH2 enter at a lower energy level, that is at

complex II to ubiquinone molecule.

The final electron carrier in the chain, transfer the electrons to oxygen to
form water.

The energy released by the electron transport chain is used to pump

hydrogen ions (H+) from the matrix into the intermembrane space.

This builds up a transmembrane electrochemical proton (H+) gradient.

When protons diffuse out from the intermembrane space through the ATP
synthetase into the mitochondrial matrix, ATP is synthesized from ADP
and Pi

Each NADH generates 3 ATP

And each FADH2 generates 2 ATP.
