Question

For each of the following sentences, fill in the blanks with the best word or phrase selected from the list below. Not all words or phrases will be used; each word or phrase may be used more than once.

ADP            FADH2             H+                    moderately      protons

ATP            favorable          higher               NADH           severely

cytosol         glucose             lower                NAD+            slightly

electrons       GTP                 matrix               Pi                  unfavorable

High-energy electrons are transferred through a series of molecules, and the energy released during these transfers is used to generate a gradient of         , or         . Because their concentration is              outside than inside the mitochondria, the flow of          , or            , down the concentration gradient is energetically very            and can thus be coupled to the production of ATP from ADP. Thus, oxidative phosphorylation refers to the oxidation of          and               molecules and the phosphorylation of          . Without this process, the yield of ATP from each glucose molecule would be                decreased.
