In cellular respiration, the energy for most ATP synthesis is supplied by: A. High energy phosphate bonds in organic molecules B. A proton gradient across a membrane C. Converting oxygen to atp D. Transferring electrons from organic molecules to pyruvate E. Generating carbon dioxide and oxygen in the electron transport chain

The immediate energy source that drives ATP synthesis by ATP synthase during oxidative phosphorylation is the (A) oxidation of glucose and other organic compounds. (B) flow of electrons down the electron transport chain. (C) H' concentration gradient across the membrane holding ATP synthase. (D) transfer of phosphate to ADP.
