The synthesis of ATP from ADP and P_i is an _______ reaction.In mitochondria, ATP synthesis is driven by the flow of _______ down a concentration gradient established by _______.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The synthesis of ATP from ADP and P_i is an endergonic reaction because energy is required for the formation of ATP. In mitochondria, ATP synthesis is driven by the flow of protons down a concentration gradient established by electron transport. This process, called oxidative phosphorylation, couples the exergonic flow of electrons through the electron transport chain to the endergonic synthesis of ATP. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer.

The Synthesis of ATP from ADP and Pi Is an _______

The Synthesis of ATP from ADP and P_i Is an _______
