Question

Explain the benefits of the Q cycle comparing to direct transfer of electrons from QH2 to two cytochrome c. Please type

Answer 1

Solution :

Given that

The benefits of the Q-Cycle.

$\bigstar$ ) Q named for quinol,how cytochrome C oxidase transfers the electrons from nadph2 and fadh 2 .

$\bigstar$ ) In mitochondria oxidative phosphorylation takes place, where protons and electrons will be transferred from outer membrane to inner membrane,where ubiquinone first accept protons from nash and transfers by forming ubiquinol qh2.

$\bigstar$ ) Then after this $f_{0}$ and $f_{1}$ oxysomes will transfer this to form ATP from ATP synthetase enzyme.

$\bigstar$ ) So quinol helps in accepting protons and electrons for ATP synthesis which is why we consider mitochondria as a power house of the cell.
