Solution

The correct statements about how chemoheterotrophic aerobes produce their ATP are:

  • NADH acts as an electron carrier, transferring electrons to the electron transport chain (ETC).
  • Oxygen is the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain (ETC).

The other statements are incorrect because:

  • Lactic acid is not the first product of the glycolytic pathway, it is a product of fermentation when there is no oxygen present.
  • Photosynthesis is not used by chemoheterotrophs to produce glucose. They obtain their energy by consuming organic molecules produced by other organisms.
  • H2S is not the final electron acceptor of the ETC in chemoheterotrophic aerobes. In these organisms, oxygen is the final electron acceptor.
  • Glucose does not enter the Krebs cycle during oxidative phosphorylation. It is first broken down during glycolysis and then the resulting pyruvate enters the Krebs cycle.
