Several compartmentalized chemical reactions occur during the aerobic respiration of a single molecule of glucose.
Which of the following statements regarding these reactions is/are correct?
- Substrate-level phosphorylation occurs during both glycolysis in the cytoplasm and the Krebs cycle in the mitochondrial matrix.
- For each molecule of glucose oxidized in aerobic respiration, the link reaction produces more molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2\text{CO}_2CO2) than the Krebs cycle.
- The accumulation of protons (H+\text{H}^+H+) in the intermembrane space creates an electrochemical gradient used to drive ATP synthesis via ATP synthase.
