Question:
Which molecules generate the proton gradient across the mitochondrial membrane?
o Contactor molecules that were reduced during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle
o Carbon dioxide molecule that was produced during the Kreb cycle
o ATP molecules produced during glycolysis only
o Cofactor molecules were oxidized during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle.
Electron Transport Chain
This is a group of electron carrier proteins that are embedded within the inner mitochondrial membrane. They harness the energy from high energy electron carriers to pump hydrogen ions out of the matrix into the intermembrane space. The electrochemical gradient is then used by ATP synthase to create ATP.
