The chemiosmotic coupling hypothesis of oxidative phosphorylation proposes that Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is formed because
1. high energy bonds are formed in mitochondrial proteins
2. ADP is pumped out of the matrix into the intermembrane space
3. a proton gradient forms across the inner membrane
4. there is a change in the permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane toward Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP)

3. | Liver cells | 4. | Red blood cells |
All enzymes of TCA cycle are located in the mitochondrial matrix except one which is located in inner mitochondrial membranes in eukaryotes and in cytosol in prokaryotes. This enzyme is
1. lactate dehydrogenase
2. isocitrate dehydrogenase
3. malate dehydrogenase
4. succinate dehydrogenase
The overall goal of glycolysis, Krebs cycle and the electron transport system is the formation of:
