Results from our forumETC - purpose of having different dehydrogenases?... between the two is the fact that NDH-1 is a coupling site (so pumps out protons while transferring electrons) while NDH-2 is not; will not pump out any protons. As ...

Hydrochloric acid (HCL) in the stomach..... mamalian stomach secrete HCL at a concentration of 0.1M. The secreted -protons, which are derived from the intracellular hydration of CO2 by carbonic anhydrase, are pumped out by an (H+ k+) ATPase antiport transporter is also required to complete the overall ...

aerobic and anaerobic glucose degeneration in a cell... use of the reduced state of these molecules to fuel the production of a proton gradient. During this process NADH and FADH2 donate electrons to ETC Complex 1 and 2. Complex 1 uses the electrons to pump hydrogen ions (protons) across the cristae membrane creating a proton gradient. ...
