How does the cell replenish ATP, the molecule used to perform cellular work? A proton gradient generated during glycolysis drives the formation of ATP. The Krebs cycle breaks down glucose molecules and generates ATP molecules. A proton gradient generated by the electron transport chain drives the formation of ATP. Glycolysis breaks down glucose molecules and generates ATP molecules.

What happens to the energy captured during glycolysis and the citric acid cycle by the activated carriers NADH and FADH2? Choose one: It is passed to an electron transport chain that uses it to generate a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. It is passed to an electron transport chain that uses it to produce oxygen. It is passed to an electron transport chain that uses it to oxidize food molecules. It is passed to ADP to form ATP. It is used to drive biosynthetic reactions.
