【多选题】What is the source of the high-energy electrons used for ATP production?
A.
The source of the high-energy electrons that power the proton pumping differs widely between different organisms and different processes.
B.
During cell respiration—the energy-generating process that takes place in both mitochondria and aerobic bacteria—these electrons are ultimately derived from sugars or fats.
C.
In photosynthesis, the high-energy electrons come from the organic green pigment chlorophyll, which captures energy from sunlight.
D.
And many single-celled organisms (archaea and bacteria) use inorganic substances such as hydrogen, iron, and sulfur as the source of the high-energy electrons that they need to make ATP.
