Click through...

What is the primary function of mitochondria in our cells?

• To protect the cell from viruses

• To produce ATP

• To digest food particles

• To store DNA

What is ATP?

• A protein

• Chemical energy

• A type of cell

• A virus

What is the space between the inner and outer mitochondrial membranes called?

• Matrix

• Intermembrane space

• Cytosol

• Cytoplasm

What process generates ATP in the mitochondria?

• Oxidative phosphorylation

• Fermentation

• Photosynthesis

• Glycolysis

What role do high-energy electrons play in ATP production?

• They break down glucose.

• They are used to pump protons to create a gradient.

• They destroy harmful bacteria.

• They directly convert ADP to ATP.

What creates the proton gradient necessary for ATP production?

• The breakdown of glucose

• The synthesis of protein

• The pumping of protons from the matrix to the intermembrane space

• The movement of electrons through the cell membrane

Through which protein complex do protons re-enter the matrix to facilitate ATP production?

• Chlorophyll

• Hemoglobin

• ATP synthase

• Cytochrome c
