What kinds of cells carry out ATP synthesis by chemiosmosis?
A) all cells, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic, exclusively using oxygen as the electron acceptor
B) only animal cells in mitochondria, exclusively using oxygen as the electron acceptor
C) only eukaryotic cells, both plant and animal, using either oxygen or other electron acceptors
D) all respiring cells, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic, using either oxygen or other electron acceptors

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All respiring cells, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic, use chemiosmosis to carry out ATP synthesis, which can occur using either oxygen (aerobic respiration) or other electron acceptors (anaerobic respiration). This includes not just animal cells in mitochondria but also plant cells in chloroplasts and various types of bacteria.
