Ans-1- protons are pumped from mitochondrial matrix to inter membrane space as a result of this pH in the matrix rises while pH in the inter membrane space decreases. This result in the formation of electrochemical gradient that develop a proton motive force for the synthesis of ATP.
So option D ( formation of proton motive force) is correct.
Ans-2- oxygen has highest reduction potential than any other electron carrier and accept electrons from NADH and FADH2. This reduces the oxygen into water.
So option E (terminal electron acceptor) is correct

What happens along an electron transport chain?
What happens along an electron transport chain? Electrons are passed from a reducing agent to an oxidizing agent, releasing free energy at each step. Electrons are passed from molecule to molecule, gaining potential energy at each step. O Electrons store energy that can be used to break down sugar molecules. O Protons are pumped through ATP synthase, making ATP.
Cellular respiration: The Electron Transport Chain The breakdown of glucose ends during the Krebs cydle; however, it is important to note that the energy previously contained in glucose is mostly stored in NADH and FADHz. In the last step of celular respiration, the high-energy electrons within NADH and FADH2 are passed within a set of proteins found in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion, collectively known as the electron transport chain. The electrons provide the energy to create ATP, which...
27) Which one of the following best describes the electron transport chain? A) Electrons are passed from one carrier to another releasing a little energy at each B) Hydrogen atoms are added to CO2 to make an energy-rich compound. C) Electrons are pumped across a membrane by active transport. D) Glucose is broken down to a three-carbon compound 28) After completion of the citric acid cycle, most of the usable energy from the one molecule is in the form of...

6. Electron movement results in the establishment of a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. The proton motive force then provides the energy for ATP formation. a. How are protons shifted from the matrix to the intramembrane space? b. How is the proton gradient harnessed for ATP formation? c. How does ATP reach the cellular compartment/s where biosynthesis is occurring?
Question 37 (1 point) In cellular respiration, electrons are moved along a series of membrane proteins during the electron transport chain. If there was a mutation in the DNA coding for each of the proton pumps of the electron transport chain such that these proteins became non-functional, what would you predict to occur? NADH and FADH2 would have to donate their electrons directly to ATP synthase in order for ATP synthesis to occur. All electrons would have to be stripped...
the electron transport system (ETS) use molecules like FAD+ and NAD+ as electron shuttles to bring electrons and protons to the ETS in order to pump protons across the Membrane. why is pumping protons important for generating energy rich molecules like ATP? A. the protons react with glucose and the ATP synthase enzyme which turns like a windmill producing ATP ADP to make ATP B. the electrons combine with oxygen to make water C. the ATP synthase is an enzyme...
