21

The series of molecules that serve in electron transport during aerobic respiration are built into the foldings, or cristae of the inner membrane of the mitochondria.(p. 108)

22

Oxygen is the crucial atom within the cytochrome molecules that participates in the oxidation-reduction shuttle of the electrons along the electron transport chain. (p. 109)
A)True
B)False
23

Electron transport molecules are fixed within the inner membrane of the mitochondrion forming "lollipops" called respiratory assemblies that are critically important in the generation of ATP. (p. 110)
A)True
B)False
24

Oxidative phosphorylation describes the series of oxidation-reduction reactions in the mitochondria that use the energy from electron pairs derived from NADH and FADH2 to add a phosphate onto ADP, thus forming ATP. (p. 109)
A)True

25

A)True
B)False
27

The globular subunit of the respiratory assemblies along the mitochondrial inner membrane contain the enzyme, ATP synthase, that actually produces ATP molecules as protons diffuse into the matrix. (p. 110)
