The mitochondrial proteins found in the inner membrane are involved in the conversion of ADP to ATP, a source of energy for the cell.This process consumes which of the following substances?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process of converting ADP to ATP, known as oxidative phosphorylation, requires oxygen as a final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain. Therefore, the consumption of oxygen is necessary for the production of ATP in the mitochondria. Nitrogen, sulfur, and carbon dioxide are not involved in this process.
