Question

Given the following question, for each of the three reactions catalyzed by NADH dehydrogenase complex, identify the following
1. electron donor
2. electron acceptor
3. the reducing agent
4. the oxidizing agent 

. The NADH dehydrogenase complex of the mitochondrial respiratory chain promotes the
following series of oxidation-reduction reactions, in which Fe3+ and Fe2+ represent the iron in
iron-sulfur centers, Q is ubiquinone, and QH2 is ubiquinol:
(1)
(2)
(3)
NADH + H* + FMN → NAD + FMNH2
FMNH2 + 2FE3+
2FE2+ + 2H* + Q→ 2FE³+ + QH2
- FMN + 2Fe?+ + 2H*
Sum:
NADH + H+ + Q
- NAD+ + QH2
