How is ATP formed from the electron transport chain?
A) charge difference of outer and inner membrane gives motive force to generate ATP
B) nitrates are used as their final electron acceptor
C) the last step involves H₂O to be split into O₂
D) all of the metabolites enter the Krebs cycle

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electron transport chain generates a charge difference between the outer and inner membrane of the mitochondria, creating a motive force that drives the synthesis of ATP. This process is known as oxidative phosphorylation.
