1
Q

What is the ΔG needed to create ATP?

A

+7.3 kcal/mol

2
Q

This is a mitochondrial mechanism that creates ATP by passing electrons along a system of carriers.

A

Electron transport chain

3
Q

Where does the electron transport chain take place?

A

Inner mitochondrial membrane

4
Q

Where does the electron transport chain receive its electrons?

A

Macronutrient oxidation

5
Q

How is a proton gradient created through the electron transport chain?

A

By the passing of electrons

6
Q

What is the product of the electron transport chain when utilizing the created proton gradient?

A

ATP

7
Q

This term refers to the electron transport system coupled with the synthesis of ATP.

A

Oxidative phosphorylation

8
Q

This mitochondrial membrane is porous and permeable to most ions and small molecules.

A

Outer mitochondrial membrane

9
Q

This mitochondrial membrane is convoluted, impermeable to most small ions and small molecules, and rich in integral proteins.

A

Inner mitochondrial membrane
