In which of the following aerobic respiration stages does a chain of several electrons transport molecules and release energy to form a proton gradient?
A) Formation of acetyl CoA
B) Citric acid cycle
C) Electron transport and chemiosmosis
D) Glycolysis
E) Dehydrogenations

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electron transport chain and chemiosmosis are stages in aerobic respiration where a series of electron carriers, located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, transfer electrons. This process releases energy used to pump protons across the membrane, creating a proton gradient that drives the synthesis of ATP.
