Although the direct reduction of CoQ to CoQH2 is thermodynamically possible, this reaction is not a direct part of the electron

transport chain via complexes I, III, and IV. Instead NADH reduces an FMN cofactor in complex I and the reduced FMNH2 kick-starts electron transport in the membrane.
Why is this electron handoff from NADH to FMN, as opposed to direct reduction of CoQ by NADH, a critical component of the electron transport chain?

Answer:

This electron handoff from NADH to FMN, as opposed to direct reduction of CoQ by NADH, a critical component of the electron transport chain is important for Signaling Transduction and Metabolomics

Explanation:

The NADH-CoQ reductase reaction is catalyzed by Complex I. In this course of activity, following events takes place-  

a) FNM (NADH dehydrogenase flavoprotein) is reduced by the NADH  to FMNH2 through following reactions –  

NADH+H++E-FMN↔NAD++E-FMNH2

b) In the next phase coenzyme Q  receives electron from FMNH2  through the the iron–sulfur centers of the NADH-CoQ reductase

c) The iron atom undergoes oxidation–reduction cycles to conserve  mitochondrial protein  as lataxin and hence transport protons from the matrix to the intermembranal space thereby Signaling Transduction and Metabolomics

Aleonysh [2.5K]
Ok so I would start by saying that light has a maximum speed, then explain that because space is so big we measure it's distance in light years and which means how light travels in a year at 186,282 miles per second Put that in perspective my saying If you could travel at the speed of light, you could go around the Earth 7.5 times in one second. Tell them Sunlight takes about 8 minutes 19 seconds to reach the Earth and that it can take millions or more light years for more distance stars light to reach our telescopes .

2. When diffusion has reached equilibrium, we say that
madam [21]

Answer:

See Below.

Explanation:

The key word here is <em>net. </em>The net movement has reached zero when a system is in equilibrium but there are still motion's going back and forth due to statistics and just random brownian motion.

Think of it this way, if there are 100 people walking forwards in a crowd but 2 are moving against the crowd, the net movement is still forwards because the bulk of people are going in that direction. However, there are still 2 people moving against.

Same here, if we are talking about a diffusion, let's say in the case of osmosis, if most of the solute is moving across a membrane then we'd say its net direction is that way but that doesn't mean that there aren't processes happening in the other direction. Water molecules in osmosis mostly diffuse, chemically speaking (because you can say this biologically in a different way), from the probability of water molecules colliding with each other and passing the membrane so even if there is a net movement in a certain way their random motion can make them go to the other side just as well. If the fact that motion stops at equilibrium were the case a lot of systems, both chemical and biological, would not exist as we know it.

Think net = bulk <u>NOT</u> <em>total</em> or <em>entire.</em>
