In mitochondria, exergonic redox reactions
A) are the source of energy driving prokaryotic ATP synthesis.
B) are directly coupled to substrate-level phosphorylation.
C) provide the energy that establishes the proton gradient.
D) reduce carbon atoms to carbon dioxide.
E) use ATP to pump H+ out of the mitochondrion.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Exergonic redox reactions in mitochondria provide the energy that establishes a proton gradient, which is then used to drive ATP synthesis through oxidative phosphorylation.
