Which of the following statements most accurately applies to the process of oxidative phosphorylation? Oxidative phosphorylation involves the passing of electrons to a series of carriers which are alternately oxidised and reduced to generate an gradient of hydrogen ions for use in ATP synthesis. Oxidative phosphorylation occurs on the inner mitochondrial membrane and the primary role is to pump hydrogen ions in the mitochondrial matrix. Cytochrome oxidase complex is the carrier that acts as the terminal electron acceptor and produces hydrogen ions for ATP synthesis later by the enzyme ATP synthase. The carrier proteins move hydrogen ions between the cell cytosol and the mitochondrial matrix to produce an electrochemical gradient.

Which of the following statements about ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is correct? The hydrolysis of ATP is an endergonic process. The cycling between ATP and ADP + Pi provides an energy coupling between catabolic and anabolic pathways. The hydrolysis of ATP can supply energy needed for catabolic pathways. Almost all of the free energy released on the hydrolysis of ATP is released as heat. The energy release on hydrolysis of ATP is the result of breaking a high-energy bond.

Which of the following is the best definition of oxidative phosphorylation? A. Electrons are passed through a series of carriers to NAD+. B. A proton gradient created on one side of a membrane containing an electron transport chain, causes hydrogen ions to flow back through the membrane, through ATP synthase, releasing energy that is used to generate ATP. C. ATP is directly transferred from a substrate to ADP. D. Electrons are passed through a series of carriers to an organic compound.
