Question

In oxidative phosphorylation, electrons are passed from one electron carrier to another. The energy released is used to __________. a. generate large amounts of NADH and FADH2 b. synthesize carbon dioxide c. pump protons (H⁺) across the mitochondrial membrane d. form ATP during glycolysis

Answer 1

Answer:

d. Form ATP during glycolysis.

Explanation:

During oxidative phosphorylation, an oxidation-reduction reactions will happen and the electrons transferred and energy released will be used in the conversion of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) into adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

This happens as a step of glycolysis, wich is the process in which the organism breaks gluscose molecules to obtain energy.
