As the next microbiology genius, you are given a rare chance of observing live ETC performed by S. marcescens on a fancy microscope! While the process is going on, you see that an electron passed from the Fe/S protein (Complex 1) to Quinone. What would quinol reduce next?

FADH2

Complex 2

Cytochrome or Fe/S (Complex 3)

Sulfate

None of the above

1.     Half reaction with the most negative reduction potential.

There may be one or more correct answers.

Glyoxylate Cycle

Quinone -> Quinol (a reduction reaction)

Cytochrome

Citric Acid Cycle

FAD -> FADH

Quinol -> Quinone (an oxidation reaction)

FMN (a flavoprotein found in Complex 1) -> FMNH2

NAD+ -> NADH

1.     Which of the following reactions are catabolic reactions?

Photosynthesis

Pentose Phosphate Pathway

Glycolysis

Fermentation

TCA Cycle

Glyoxylate Cycle

Answer #1

1)I can say it will reduce FeS of Complex III, which is the correct answer. The electron shuttles from Quinol to FeS to Cyt. B to Cyt C1 to Cyt c.

1) lower reduction potential will have a tendency to lose electrons to the new species,

Cytochrome and quinol/quinone, glyoxylate cycle, FADH have a positive redox potential

Rest are having negative potential, with the most being for

TCA cycle in which has certain reactions with most negative potential like isocitrate to alpha ketogultarate and to succinate...
