When living cells break down molecules of food, energy is

• created by the blood

• stored as ADP

• released as DNA

• stored as ATP

• created in the nucleus

ATP formation is best described by which of the following statements?

• ATP is formed as the hydrogen concentration gradient drives electrons down the electron transport system.

• ATP is formed by directly using the energy released from electrons as they travel down the electron transport system.

• The energy released from electrons is used to create a proton gradient, which is then used to power ATP production.

What is the purpose of fermentation?

• alternative method of freeing up NAD in order to keep glycolysis running

• keep the Krebs cycle running in the absence of oxygen

• using something other than oxygen as the final electron acceptor in order to keep the electron transport system running
