How do mitochondria generate and store the energy used to produce most of the ATP made during aerobic respiration?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitochondria generate ATP through the process of oxidative phosphorylation, which involves the electron transport chain and the production of a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This proton gradient is then used by ATP synthase to generate ATP. Thus, the correct answer is C, by generating a proton gradient. A, B, D, and E are not correct choices as they do not accurately describe the process of ATP generation in mitochondria.
