A) ​glycolysis
B) ​acetyl-CoA formation
C) ​the Krebs cycle
D) ​substrate-level phosphorylation
E) ​electron transfer phosphorylation

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Electron transfer phosphorylation (also known as oxidative phosphorylation) is the final step in cellular respiration, where the majority of ATP is produced. During this process, electrons from NADH and FADH2 are transferred to the electron transport chain to create a proton gradient, which drives ATP synthesis by ATP synthase.
