Oxidative phosphorylation uses ALL of the following for energy production EXCEPT:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phosphoenolpyruvate is not used in oxidative phosphorylation for energy production. It is a metabolic intermediate involved in glycolysis and is converted to pyruvate, which can then be used in the Krebs cycle (also known as the citric acid cycle or TCA cycle) to produce NADH for use in the electron transport chain of oxidative phosphorylation. The other choices, electrons from NADH, a membrane-associated electron transport chain, an ATP synthase, and a proton motive force, are all key components used in oxidative phosphorylation for energy production.
