Oxidative phosphorylation is

1. formation of ATP by transfer of phosphate group from a substrate to ADP
2. oxidation of phosphate group in ATP
3. addition of phosphate group to ATP
4. formation of ATP by energy release from electrons removed during substrate oxidation.

The TCA cycle is considered as an aerobic pathway because

1. all enzymes of the cycle use molecular oxygen

2. some enzymes of the cycle require molecular oxygen

3. molecular oxygen is essential to reoxidise the coenzymes reduced during operation of

the cycle.

4. in absence of oxygen, the enzymes of TCA cycle are denatured.
