Chapter 18, Problem 19P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Oxidation-reduction states on given components of ETC, when rotenone, antimycin A, and cyanide blocks it.

Concept introduction:

The redox reaction is the reaction that involves the gain and loss of electrons. This means that a redox reaction comprises both the reduction reaction and the oxidation reaction. During such reactions transfer of electrons take place, leading to change in the oxidation number of the atoms, molecules, or ions.

14. Inhibitors. Rotenone inhibits electron flow through NADH-Q oxidoreductase. Antimycin A blocks electron flow between cytochromes b and c₁. Cyanide blocks elec- tron flow through cytochrome oxidase to O₂. Predict the relative oxidation-reduction state of each of the following respiratory-chain components in mitochondria that are treated with each of the inhibitors: (a) NAD+ (b) NADH-Q oxidoreductase (c) coenzyme Q (d) cytochrome c₁ (e) cytochrome c (f) cytochrome a
. In deciding which form of isocitrate dehydrogenase plays the more important role in the citric acid cycle-the NAD*-dependent or the NADP*-dependent form-what kinds of information would help you?
Match the name of the process with its description     Electron transport chain   oxidation of pyruvate   chemiosmotic phosphorylation   citric acid cycle   1. The 2-carbon acetyl group separates from coenzyme A and attaches to a four carbon molecule called oxaloacetate, forming the 6-carbon molecule called citrate. In a series of enzyme-catalyzed steps, the citrate loses 8 high-energy electrons to NAD+ and FAD. In addition, ADP is phosphorylated (changed to ATP) as part of step three. Carbons leave as carbon dioxide in steps 2 and 3. This leaves a 4-carbon molecule, which eventually combines with another Acetyl CoA to form citrate and the cycle begins again. 2. Pyruvate moves into the mitochondrion and two electrons are removed from pyruvate and transferred to NAD+. One of the carbon atoms in pyruvate leaves as a molecule of carbon dioxide. The remaining 2-carbon piece becomes attached to Coenzyme A. 3. Protons concentrated in the…
