Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The energy in molecules such as `NADH^(+) H^(+)` and `FADH_2` synthesizes during glycolysis and Krebs cycle are used for synthesis ATP . This is accomplished through a system of electron carriers which are known as cytochromes which carry out the synthesis of ATP through electron transport system located on the inner member of the mitochondria. The electrons as they move through the system release enough energy that is trapped to synthesize ATP . This is called oxidative phosphorylation.
