Y1 - 2014 N1 - T2 - Integrative Medical Biochemistry Examination and Board Review AB - High-Yield TermsMitochondrial DNA (mtDNA): the circular genome found within mitochondria, encompasses genes involved in respiratory functions of this organelleElectrochemical half-cell: consists of an electrode and an electrolyte, 2 half-cells compose an electrochemical cell that is capable of deriving energy from chemical reactionsUbiquinone (CoQ): a mobile component of the electron transport chain that can undergo either 1- or 2-electron reactions, transfers electrons from complexes I and II to complex IIIChemiosmotic potential: more correctly referred to as proton motive force (PMF), refers to the electrochemical gradient formed across the inner mitochondrial membrane due to the transport of protons, H+, whose energy is used to drive ATP synthesisReactive oxygen species: any of a group of chemically reactive molecules containing oxygen, such as hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anionEncephalomyopathy: a disorder most often resulting from a defect in mitochondrial function affecting both skeletal muscle and central nervous system functionAdaptive thermogenesis: the regulated production of heat in response to environmental changes in temperature and diet; for example, shivering in humans is adaptive thermogenesis SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/29 UR - accesspharmacy.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1122103695 ER -
