Why is the cristae the only possible place for the electron transport molecule in the mitochodria?

Because the electron carrier molecules, such as the cytochromes, are located in the cristae.


What is one difference between ubiquinones and cytochromes?

One difference is that ubiquinones are lipid-soluble molecules that shuttle electrons in the electron transport chain between complexes while cytochromes are protein molecules with heme groups that also participate in electron transfer. Additionally, ubiquinones are often found embedded in the mitochondrial inner membrane, whereas cytochromes are typically soluble proteins found within the mitochondrial matrix or associated with the inner membrane.


The membrane-bound protein molecules that pass electrons along the Electron Transport System chain are called?

One major class are known as the Cytochromes.


What is the absorption spectrum of cytochrome?

There are several different cytochromes with diverse absorption spectra. Typically, c-type cytochromes have a prominent band peak at about 550 nm, b-type cytochromes at around 558-560 nm, and a type cytochromes out around 605 nm. There are other bands that every cytochrome has, but these regions (the so-called alpha absorption bands) are the best to distinguish the substance under study.


What stages of cellular respiration involve cytochromes?

Cytochromes are involved in electron transport chain, specifically in the complexes III and IV stages of cellular respiration. In complex III, cytochrome b and cytochrome c are key components, while in complex IV, cytochrome c oxidase plays a crucial role in the final transfer of electrons to oxygen.

Fad and cytochromes are classified as?

FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide) is classified as a coenzyme, while cytochromes are classified as heme proteins. Both play important roles in electron transport within cells.

What things use a membrane bound system that contains cytochromes to produce ATP?

Mitochondria use a membrane-bound system containing cytochromes to produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. This process involves a series of electron transport chain reactions where cytochromes transfer electrons, generating a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane that drives ATP synthesis by ATP synthase.

What couples chemiosmosis to energy storage ATP synthase cytochromes FADH2 NADH or electron transport?

ATP synthase couples chemiosmosis to energy storage.


What is prosthetic group?

A prosthetic group is an area of a protein or protein complex that can be reduced and oxidized. Flavoproteins and Cytochromes are two examples of complexes with prosthetic groups.
