Synthesis of ATP in mitochondria requires:

Correct answer: B. Oxygen

  • A. NADP
  • B. Oxygen
  • C. FMN
  • D. ATP

Oxygen serves as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, accepting electrons from the chain and forming water. This process, known as oxidative phosphorylation, creates a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane, which is crucial for the generation of ATP through chemiosmosis.
