3
Which organelle specifically operates the electron transfer chain reaction?
Mitochondria
How is energy stored in ATP molecules?
In the bonds between phosphate groups
What is the chemical composition of ATP?
Adenine, ribose, three phosphate groups
Why is ATP referred to as the 'energy currency' of the cell?
Due to its role in providing energy for cellular processes
What is the total number of ATP molecules obtained from one molecule of FADH2 in the electron transfer chain reaction?

Where does the electron transfer chain reaction take place?
Mitochondria
How many water molecules are produced during the electron transfer chain reaction from each NADH2 molecule?
1
What is the energy currency of the cell?
