Question

5. Introduction to oxidative phosphorylation After glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, and the citric acid cycle, glucose has been completely oxidized into Co very little of the energy released by glucose oxidation has been used to make ATP so far. The remaining energy has been transferred to electron carriers. To harvest this energy, electrons must be released from these of mitochondrial protelins collectively called molecule that can accept low-energy e This process requires a very electronegative ATP synthases the electron transport chain the proton gradient The electron transport chain The following image depicts the events that occur within the electron transport chain. Match each label with its corresponding DOLL

Explanation / Answer

The correct answer is electron transport chain. The electrons are transferred to different protein carriers according to their oxidation state and according to that a proton gradient is established that drives ATP synthesis via ATP synthase.
