Answer:

A. Oxidative phosphorylation occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

B. The oxidation of NADH provides enough energy to produce three ATP molecules.

Explanation:

Oxidative phosphorylation is the third step of cellular respiration, in which NADH2 or FADH electron carriers are oxidized to produce ATP. Oxidative phosphorylation occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane. It is composed of two processes viz: electron transport chain and chemiosmosis.

Either NADH2 or FADH is used as the starting electron carrier. When NADH is used, its oxidation produces enough energy to generate 3 molecules of ATP per molecule while FADH generates 2 ATP molecules.

Lynn Margulis developed the endosymbiont theory to explain the evolution of certain eukaryotic organelles, such as chloroplasts

SashulF [63]

Answer:

The answer is: letter C, The cell took in another ancient prokaryotic cell, which began living inside it.

Explanation:

"Endosymbiotic Theory" states that certain eukaryotic organelles evolved when multiple cells merged together. So, this created a "symbiotic relationship" among them. The organism that lives inside the other organism is called the "endosymbiont."

An example of this are the eukaryotic cells, which took in a prokaryotic cell (such as the ancient chloroplasts and mitochondrion). These ancient prokaryotes used to be free-living. They were often engulfed by another cell. However, in this theory, they are not killed; rather, the host cell helps it to thrive. This caused the organelles to evolve together with the host cell.

Thus, this explains the answer.
