Do you feel the Coupling?

Note: This quiz was made to test your knowledge of mitochondrial terminology of coupling states and to help you understand basic concepts of mitochondrial physiology


1 Maximal oxygen flux JkO2 is reached in:

state.

2 The mechanism of cycling of cations across the mitochondrial inner membrane (mtIM), strongly stimulated by permeability transition (mtPT); comparable to the use of protonophores e.g. by UCP1 or cation (Ca2+) cycling, leads to:

Alphabetical order of O2 isotope
Elementary charge of O2 in [C]
Charge number of O2 = 4
Atomic number of O2 = 8

3 How are the units of electric energy [J] and electric force [V] related?

V = J/C
V = (JยทF)/C
V = J/(CยทF)
V = JยทC

4 Express -460 kJ/mol O2 as electrical force in units of volt [V].

-1.2 V
1.2 V
- 120 V
- 1.2 kV

5 Why should we do that?

To compliment our brain mitochondria
To express both in identical motive units [MU]
To feel insecure
To get free drinks
