Answer 1

The correct response is: They make ATP from ADP.

In the electron transport chain, high-energy electrons are used to generate ATP through a process called oxidative phosphorylation. The electrons help create a proton gradient across the mitochondrial membrane, which drives ATP synthase to convert ADP into ATP.
