Reduction potential of NAD+ is - 0.32 and that of FAD+ is - 0.22
Since reduction potential of FAD+ is high, it has more tendency to reduce or act as stronger Oxidizing agent than NAD+. Thus, when Succinate dehyrogenase release electron, FAD+ accept electron (because it has greater tendency to gain electron) and reduced to FADH2.
Please give feedback!
Why does succinate DH give electrons to FADH2 rather than NADH? This requires looking at the...
Which of the following could explain why transfer of electrons from FADH2 to Coenzyme Q (CoQ) is not coupled to proton transfer, but transfer from NADH to Coenzyme Q is? Select one: a. FADH2 donates more electrons than NADH to the electron transport chain. b. Because FADH2 has higher affinity for electrons than Coenzyme Q c. Because FADH2 is a higher energy carrier than NADH d. Because the transfer of electrons from FADH2 to CoQ does not release enough energy....
3) Which of the following are the reasons why FADH2 produce less ATP compared to NADH? (3 points) I) Because it has lower oxidation potential compared to NADH II) Because it has lower reduction potential compared to NADH III) Because formation of FAD+ requires energy input IV) It pumps less number of H+ required for generation a) I and III b) III and IV c) I and IV d) II and IV
Why does oxidation of FADH2 provide less energy for the synthesis of ATP than oxidation of NADH in oxidative phosphorylation?
In one step of glycolysis, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is oxidized by NAD+ to yield 3-phosphoglycerate and NADH. 1) Consider that reaction, in the direction written. Which chemicals) is(are) losing electrons, and which chemical(s) is(are) gaining electrons? It's best to answer this in a clear complete sentence. 2 2 2 Table 10-2 Standard Reduction Potentials for Redox Pairs of Biological Relevance* Redox Pair Number of (oxidized form → reduced form) Electrons E.(V) acetate pyruvate 2 -0.70 succinate → a-ketoglutarate 2 -0.67 acetate...
Please explain why as well. 4. On average, how many ATP molecules are synthesized per NADH? A. 0 B. 1 C. 2 D. 3 E. 4 5. The FADH2 that is produced donates its electrons directly to A. Complex I B. Complex III C. Complex IV D. Coenzyme Q E. Cytochrome C F. O2 6. In the Binding Change Mechanism the 3 conformational states that occur in the F1 subunit of ATP synthase depend on A. interaction with b subunits...
OCHEM LAB Why does hydration of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol give the ketone, 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-butanone (4), rather than the aldehyde, 3-methyl-3-hydroxybutanal (5)? How can 4 and 5 be differntiated chemically? by spectroscopic methods?
why does some materials have
greater than Egap give an example?
Why does some materials have E=h nu greater than Egap give an example?
(d) Give one reason why on the AVR the result of the multiply instruction is always placed in RO and R1, rather than having the destination specified by the instruction. [2 marks] (e) Some processors use one of the registers in the register file to hold the program counter (PC). The AVR doesn't do this but instead keeps the PC in a separate register. What are the advantages of each of these two methods for storing the program counter? I4...
Why does the formula mass of H2O2 is
calculated based on H2O2 (34 g/mol) rather
than HO (the simplest form), which equals to 17 g/mol ? Thanks.
Calculate the formula mass of each compound given below. Keep at least one decimal place in atomic masses from the periodic table. a) hydrogen peroxide, H202 Number 34.01468 amu
2. Why is it safer to use NaOCI as the oxidant, rather than Cro. / pyridine? 3. Sodium hypochlorite is prepared by reacting Cl, through aqueous (excess) NaOH. Write a balanced equation for this; HINT: push electrons. 4. Looking a the reaction scheme in the background section of this lab, what mechanism(s) are involved in this reaction. Name them and indicate which reaction steps follow these mechanistic patterns. 130 3. Theoretical question: Suppose you had a 20/80 mixture of part...
