Which of the following processes requires a proton gradient across a membrane?
a)simple diffusion
b)substrate level phosphorylation
c)endocytosis
d)oxidative phosphorylation
e)exocytosis

D)Oxidative Phosphorylation

Explanation:

Oxidative phosphorylation occurs when the reducing powers NADH and FADH2 are oxidized via an electron transport chain. During their oxidation, the protons are pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane to generate the proton concentration gradient. This gradient drives the facilitated diffusion of protons through proton channels of the ATP synthase and phosphorylation of ADP into ATP. This process of ADP phosphorylation is called oxidative phosphorylation since the energy of the proton concentration gradient generated during oxidation of reducing powers drives the process.

answer:   option a) glucagon was secreted by his pancreas before he ate the cookies because blood glucose was low. insulin was secreted after he ate the cookies because his blood glucose was high.
