For every two QH2 (ubiquinol) that enter the Q cycle, one is regenerated and the other passes its two electrons to two cytochrome c1 centers. The overall equation is: QH2 + 2 cyt c1 (Fe3+) + 2 H+ → Q + 2 cyt c1 (Fe2+) + 4 H+ Calculate the free energy change associated with the Q cycle. Use 3 significant figures.
