At electron carrier complex IV, energy from electrons is used to actively transport H+ from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space, where 2H+ + 2e- + 1/2 O2 forms H2O, with oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor.
Nel complesso di trasporto degli elettroni IV, l'energia dagli elettroni viene utilizzata per trasportare attivamente H+ dalla matrice mitocondriale allo spazio intermembrana, dove 2H+ + 2e- + 1/2 O2 formano H2O, con l'ossigeno come accettore terminale di elettroni.
| Front | What happens at electron carrier complex IV? |
|---|---|
| Back | - energy from e- used to actively transport H+ from mitochondrial matrix into inter-membrane space - across inner mitochondrial membrane Then 2H+ + 2e- + 1/2 O2 --> H2O So Oxygen is terminal electron acceptor |
