Give examples of electron transport chain inhibitors .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Eelectron transport chain inhibitors :
1. 2, 4 DNP (Dinitrophenol) - It prevents synthesis of ATP from ADP , as it directs electrons from Co Q to `O_2`
2. Cyanide - It prevents flow of electrons from Cytochrome `a_3 "to" O_2`.
3. Rotanone - It prevents flow of electrons from `NADH + H^+ // FADH_2 "to" Co Q`
4. Oligomycin - It inhibits oxidative phosphorylation .

Assertion (A) : Oxidative phosphorylation takes place during the electron transport chain in mitochondria. Reason (R ) : Succinyl CoA is phosphorylated into succinic acid by substrate phosphorylation.

During the process of acerobic respiration ul((i)) gets oxidised and its electrons get transferred to the electron transport chain while in photosyntheis, ul((ii)) gets oxidised to transfer molecules to the electron transport chain.
