Question

The universal reducing equivalents in the form of NADH, harnessed from glycolysis, PDH, & the TCA cycle, hand off their electrons to Complex # __________ of the electron transfer chain of the mitochondrial inner membrane. The universal reducing equivalent in the form of FADH2, generated by the enzyme called ________________ of the citric acid cycle, hands off its electrons to Complex # _________________ of the electron transfer chain. As electrons move down the electron transport chain, there is a net movement of_______________ from the matrix of the mitochondria to the intermembrane space; this vectorial movement creates an electrochemical gradient that eventually fuels the creation of ATP by the enzyme called ______________________, another large complex of the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Answer 1

The universal reducing equivalents in the form of NADH, harnessed from glycolysis, PDH, & the TCA cycle, hand off their electrons to Complex # ______ I, also known as NADH dehydrogenase____ of the electron transfer chain of the mitochondrial inner membrane. The universal reducing equivalent in the form of FADH2, generated by the enzyme called __Succinate__ of the citric acid cycle, hands off its electrons to Complex # __ II, also known as succinate dehydrogenase__ of the electron transfer chain. As electrons move down the electron transport chain, there is a net movement of__Hydrogen ions__from the matrix of the mitochondria to the intermembrane space; this vectorial movement creates an electrochemical gradient that eventually fuels the creation of ATP by the enzyme called __ATP synthase__, another large complex of the inner mitochondrial membrane.
