Synthesis of ATP in mitochondria requires:
Correct answer: B. Oxygen
- A. NADP
- B. Oxygen
- C. FMN
- D. ATP
Explanation
Oxygen serves as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, accepting electrons from the chain and forming water. This process, known as oxidative phosphorylation, creates a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane, which is crucial for the generation of ATP through chemiosmosis.
