Students have asked these similar questions
In the pathways of cell metabolism, 1) glycolysis does NOT occur in the
mitochondria, AND 2) the proton gradient in oxidative phosphorylation
occurs through a PASSIVE transport process.
True
False
Why do body cells need to carry out aerobic respiration and protein synthesis?
What would be the effect on ATP production during chemiosmosis and oxidative phorphorylation, if the pH within the inner membrane space of the mitochondrion were decreased, assuming no effect of pH on the structure of proteins in the membrane?
a) it would increase
b) it would decrease
c)it would stay the same
