As the electron flow through the chains, much of their free energy is conserved in the form of ATP. This process is called

  • A.oxidative phosphorylation
  • B.electromotive potential
  • C.dehydrogenations
  • D.none of these

Answer: A

Correct answer: oxidative phosphorylation

As electrons pass down the transport chain, the carriers pump protons across the membrane, and the proton-motive force so created drives ATP synthase. Capturing energy this way - electron flow to proton gradient to ATP - is oxidative phosphorylation, and it accounts for the great majority of the ATP from aerobic respiration.
