Which of the following statements about oxidative phosphorylation true?

Answer

Carbon dioxide is produced as a byproduct during oxidative phosphorylation.

Oxidative phosphorylation requires ATP synthase.

Oxidative phosphorylation utilizes the membranes of the peroxisomes.

NAD+ and FAD donate hydrogen ions (H+) to the complexes of the electron transport chain.

The energy yield from oxidative phosphorylation is 2 ATP.

Umm, Is it B? or A?

@Tutormenoq2 I think it is B. The byproduct of OxPhos is O2. This is because there is an electron transport chain in this process and oxygen is the most electron greedy element and acts as the final e- acceptor.

I cant remember the exact break down of ATP production by each part of cellular respiration though. Still, if there was no ATP Synthase, OxPhos would not occur.

Thought so.

@Tutormenoq2 The O byproduct is also why we are killing ourselves every time we breathe. O and hydrogen peroxides are produced and really mess us up if we cannot get rid of them fast enough.
