  1. Question 1

    The electron transport chain of respiration is located in the

    • AInner mitochondrial membrane
    • BOuter membrane
    • CCytosol
    • DMatrix only
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    It uses NADH and FADH2 as electron donors.

  2. Question 2

    Electrons from NADH are first taken up by

    • ACoenzyme Q
    • BCytochrome a
    • COxygen
    • DFerredoxin
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    They then pass to cytochrome b and c and a.

  3. Question 3

    The final electron acceptor of the chain is

    • AOxygen
    • BWater
    • CNAD+
    • DCO2
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    It combines with H+ to form water.

  4. Question 4

    H+ ions are pumped into the

    • AIntermembrane space
    • BMatrix
    • CCytosol
    • DNucleus
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    This creates a gradient that stores potential energy.

  5. Question 5

    H+ ions return to the matrix through

    • AATP synthase
    • BRubisco
    • CFerredoxin
    • DCytochrome c
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Their flow drives ATP synthesis.
