12 ETC
typora-copy-images-to: ./images

- 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




Complex II

- CoQ deliver enzymes to complex 3
Complex III



- iron goes back and forth in cytochrome as opposed of Hgb



- phosphorylating ADP to make ATP via enzyme



- 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
