Interpretation:
The complex which is not the part of respirasome.
Concept introduction:
An electron transport chain (ETC) is the series of
Answer to Problem 1P
Option (b), complex II.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option:
Option (b) is complex II. Respirasomes are the supramolecular compounds that are found in mitochondria. They are formed by the association of two or more protein complexes involved in the ETC. Complex I/III, complex I/III/IV, and complex III/IV respirasomes found in mitochondria. Complex II is found in free floating form and does form respirasome. Hence, this option is correct.
Reasons for incorrect options:
Option (a) is complex I. complex I forms respirasome with complex III and IV. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option (c) is complex III. Complex III forms respirasome along with the complex I and the complex IV. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option (d) is complex IV. Complex IV forms respirasome along with the complex I and the complex III. Hence, this option is incorrect.

To assess what you have learned, answer the questions by choosing the letter of the best answer. Write your answers on your answer sheet. 1. Which of the following causes the formation of ATP during the light dependent reaction? A. It is caused by the electrochemical gradient created by the splitting or water molecules. B. It is caused by the increase or oxygen gas in the system C. It is created when the electrons allow the attachment of an inorganic phosphate to ADP D. The photons energize the activation of the ATP synthase, thus combining an inorganic phosphate to ADP. 2. Where does the oxygen produced by photosynthetic plants come from?

What would be the total amount of ATP synthesized (explain)?arrow_forwardFo-F1 ATPase. The energy for ATP synthesis from ADP and Pi is provided by the downhill transport of protons through the rotary FoF1 ATP synthase . The enzyme has 3 alpha-beta and 12 ‘c’ subunits. The mitochondrion maintains change in membrane potential=180 mV (negative inside), pHin = 8, pHout=7, [Pi] = 3 mM and ADP is present as well. .
