12 ETC

takes electrons from electron carriers

2 NADH outside have to be shuttled in via malate shuttle or glycerol phosphate shuttle

mitochondria membrane convert glycerol phosphate back and generate FADH2, carry not as much energy. Some energy lost


Complex 1


ski.jpg II


Complex II

CoQ deliver enzymes to complex 3
Complex III



iron goes back and forth in cytochrome as opposed of Hgb

oxidizes cytochrome c


phosphorylating ADP to make ATP via enzyme

ATP synthase complex 5


number of ATP generated per O2

Poisons

uncoupling: ETC still working but not coupled to phosphorylation of ADP

rotenone: inhibitor of reduction of CoQ
CO binds Fe2 and competes with O2 for electron transfer
cyanide no effect on RBC with Fe2

progress to shock quickly
O2 not extracted because ETC inhibited
lactic acidosis: one of ways people die


poke a hole in inner membrane

DNP in research labs
aspirin: fever, H+ leaking out generating heat
normally lipolysis makes ATP
brown fat: not coupled ETC, lipolysis generates heat
