In this article we will discuss about the Energy Capture in Respiratory Chain in Mitochondria. 1. When substrates are oxidized through an NAD-linked dehydrogenase, 3 mol inorganic phosphate are incorporated into 3 mol of ADP to form 3 mol of ATP per half mol of O2 (1/2 O2) consumed, i.e. the P; O ratio = […]

Electron Transport System or Respiratory Chain: The hydrogen and electron transport system comprise many hydrogen and electron acceptors (Fig. 17-6). In fact oxidation reduction reactions in a biological system involve hydrogen and electron acceptors. Both hydrogen and electrons are passed from one acceptor to another. Thus, there are intermediate and final hydrogen acceptors. The final […]
