question 10

Multiple Choice

The energy of electron transport serves to move translocate) protons to the outer mitochondrial compartment. How does this help the mitochondrion to produce energy?

• A) The protons receive electrons from NAD⁺ and FAD that are accepted in glycolysis and the Krebs cycle.
• B) The protons pick up electrons from the electron transport chain on their way through the inner mitochondrial membrane.
• C) The translocation of protons sets up the electrochemical gradient that drives ATP synthesis in the mitochondria.
• D) The hydrogen ions protons) are transferred to oxygen in an energy- releasing reaction.
