The energy of the movement of electrons down a concentration gradient via electron transport within chloroplasts and mitochondria is used to generate molecules of:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The movement of electrons through electron transport chains within chloroplasts and mitochondria is used to create a proton gradient across a membrane, which is then used to drive the synthesis of ATP via ATP synthase. This process is known as oxidative phosphorylation or photophosphorylation, depending on whether it occurs in the context of cellular respiration or photosynthesis, respectively. Therefore, choice D, ATP, is the most appropriate answer.
