16. Synthesis of ATP by oxidative phosphorylation is a seriously endergonic reaction. What is the immediate reservoir of stored energy that drives this process? A. the electron transport chain B. oxygen C. proton gradient or energized membrane D. NADH+ H? and FADH? E. glucose

Step 1
The electron transport chain is a series of protein complexes in the inner mitochondrial membrane that transfer electrons from NADH and FADH2 to oxygen, which is reduced to water. This transfer of electrons creates a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial Show more…
