Lecture 14: Electron Transport Chain

Topic	Reading
Electron Transport Chain oxidation/reduction in the mitochondrial membrane NADH to NAD+ = oxidation oxygen to water = reduction coupled reaction yields 52 Kcal/mole Multistep process - move electrons down energy hill use cytochromes Chemiosmotic Theory pump protons (oxidation.reduction) create potential energy gradient ATP phosphorylation yield 1 NADH yields 3ATP 1 FADH2 yields 2 ATP	pages 179 - 184
