The citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, is involved in cell respiration and produces NADH and FADH2 for the electron transport chain. The Krebs ...
+Pooja Padmakumar It oxidizes succinate to fumarate, reducing a ubiquinone to ubiquinol in the process. This ubiquinol can then be used by complex III.
@satish Mistry: What I found was that when NADH + H is oxidized to NAD+ it
releases to 2 electrons. These electrons are passed to the flavoprotein
(FMN), when its passed to FMN it is reduced to FMNH2 which then has to be
reoxidized to FMN. The electrons are then passed to the Fe-s. You have to
remember that when something is oxidized something else has to be reduced.
I hope this helps. I would recommend you watch the video by moof
university, he explains it quite well.
Cytochrome C is only capable of carrying 1 e-. Thus, it requires two
Cytochrome C's to reduce 2 1/2O to H2O.
The heme in Cytochrome C goes from Fe3+ to Fe2+ when reduced, thus 1 e-.
Well, if I am not mistaken the reduction of NAD+ which results in NADH (+ H+ ) goes like this: NAD+ reacts with H2 (a hydrogen molecule). Now when this happens the NAD+ binds to both hydrogen atoms but lets go of one proton from obs of the hydrogen. Nonetheless whenever NADH is created so is a proton. Does that answer the question?
Your videos are really very helpful. Thankyou for the detailed explanations
:-)
