The KEGG and NCBI databases contain a wealth of information obtained from sequencing and analyzing the complete genome of Acinetobacter baumannii 1656-2, which is a medically important oxidase-negative (cytochrome c oxidase–negative) bacterium that is multidrug resistant. For this microorganism, which statement regarding oxidative phosphorylation is correct?
B-
The formation of ATP depends directly on the oxidation of cytochrome c.
C-
D-
Solution
Answer- B
It is true that the formation of ATP depends directly on the oxidation of cytochrome c.
cytochrome c consumes oxygen and synthesis of ATP occour .
Cytochrome c oxidase is responsible for reduction of molecular oxygen to water using reducing equivalents donated by cytochrome c. Hence option C is incorrect.

1. The KEGG and NCBI databases contain a wealth of information obtained from sequencing and
analyzing the complete genome of Acinetobacter baumannii 1656-2, which is a medically
important oxidase-negative (cytochrome c oxidase–negative) bacterium that is multidrug
resistant. For this microorganism, which statement regarding oxidative phosphorylation is
correct?
B-
The formation of ATP depends directly on the oxidation of cytochrome c.
C-
D-
A-This microbe possesses subunits for cytochrome c oxidase and therefore displays cytochrome
c oxidase activity.
Solution
Answer- B
It is true that the formation of ATP depends directly on the oxidation of cytochrome c.
cytochrome c consumes oxygen and synthesis of ATP occour .
Cytochrome c oxidase is responsible for reduction of molecular oxygen to water using reducing
