Question

What is the name of the process by which the electron-transport chain generates the electrochemical gradient that drives atp production in the mitochondrion?.

Answer 1

Answer:

oxidative phosphorylation

Explanation:

At the end of this electron transport chain, the final electron acceptor is oxygen, and this ultimately forms water (H20). At the same time, the electron transport chain produces ATP. (This is why the the process is called oxidative phosphorylation.)
