In electron transport,the synthesis of ATP from ADP + Pi is called ________.
A)glycolysis
B)acylation
C)oxidative phosphorylation
D)isomerization
E)hydrolysis

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The synthesis of ATP from ADP + Pi in electron transport is called oxidative phosphorylation. The electron transport chain is responsible for creating a concentration gradient of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane. The energy from the flow of these protons back across the membrane is used to synthesize ATP from ADP and Pi via oxidative phosphorylation.
