1. Compared to the generation of ATP by oxidative phosphorylation, what is a major difference in mechanism of ATP generation by substrate-level phosphorylation in glycolysis?
A. A proton gradient is not involved
B. The ATP produced has less energy content because oxygen was not involved.
C. Substrate level phosphorylation occurs in the inter-mitochondrial space
D. One can't generalize without knowing the substrate.
2. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Because the electrons in NADH are at a higher energy than the electrons in reduced ubiquinone, the NADH dehydrogenase complex can pump more protons than can the cytochrome b-c1 complex.
B.The pH in the mitochondrial matrix is higher than the pH in the intermembrane space.
C. The proton concentration gradient and the membrane potential across the inner mitochondrial membrane tend to work against each other in driving protons from the intermembrane space into the matrix.
D. The difference in proton concentration across the inner mitochondrial membrane has a much larger effect than the membrane potential on the total proton-motive force.
