Question

Mitochondria are the sites for

• A. photophosphorylation
• B. oxidative phosphorylation
• C. transpiration
• D. carboxylation

Answer 1

The correct option is B oxidative phosphorylation

Oxidative phosphorylation is the process in which ATP is formed as a result of the transfer of electrons NADH or FADH${}_2$ to O${}_2$ by a series of electron carriers. It takes place in the inner mitochondrial membrane. So, mitochondria are the sites for oxidative phosphorylation.
