|| Wrong answer :( . The LEAK-state is defined as a state of mitochondrial respiration when O<sub>2</sub> flux mainly compensates for ion leaks in the absence of ATP synthesis, at kinetically-saturating concentrations of O<sub>2</sub>, respiratory fuel substrates and P<sub>i</sub>. The intrinsic proton leak is the ''uncoupled'' leak current of protons in which protons diffuse across the mtIM in the dissipative direction of the downhill protonmotive force without coupling to phosphorylation. Protonophores are ''uncouplers'' which are titrated to obtain maximum ''noncoupled'' respiration as a measure of ET-capacity.

|| Wrong answer :( . The LEAK-state is defined as a state of mitochondrial respiration when O2 flux mainly compensates for ion leaks in the absence of ATP synthesis, at kinetically-saturating concentrations of O<sub>2</sub>, respiratory fuel substrates and P<sub>i</sub>. Therefore substrates are necessary to reach LEAK state of mitochondrial respiration.

|| Correct! The LEAK-state is defined as a state of mitochondrial respiration when O2 flux mainly compensates for ion leaks in the absence of ATP synthesis, at kinetically-saturating concentrations of O<sub>2</sub>, respiratory fuel substrates and P<sub>i</sub>. In the absence of ADP no ATP synthesis can procede and we measure low, cation leak-dependent respiration.

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 LEAK state can be measured:

In the absence of ADP
After addition of kinetically saturation doses of ADP
After protonophore titration
In the absence of substrates

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

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

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

- 1.2 kV
1.2 V
-1.2 V
- 120 V

5 Why should we do that?

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