Which of the following statements about oxidative phosphoryl

Which of the following statements about oxidative phosphorylation are correct? (Select two that are correct)

A. It requires the generation of proton motif force (PMF) across membrane

B. During glucose catabolism, most ATP molecules are produced through substrate level phosphorylation ; only a small number of ATP are produced from oxidative phosphorylation.

C. Oxidative phosphorylation takes place at the plasma membrane of for both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

D. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the oxidative phosphorylation (aerobic respiration)

E. NADH is an enzyme that helps to generate ATP at the cell membrane.

Solution

Options A and D are true.

Option B: glucose catabolism or simply considering glycolysis, 2 ATPs are produced by substrate level phosphorylation and 2 NADH are produced, which undergo oxidative phosphorylation to produce 5 ATPs. Therefore, False

Option C: oxidative phosphorylation occurs in mitochondria. Therefore, False.

Option E: firstly, NADH is not an enzyme. Therefore, False
