The answers are letter D and E. The two true statements are letters D and E

Explanation:

The true statements are: Electrons are passed from donor to recipient carrier molecules in a series of oxidation-reduction reactions, and Energy must be added to move electrons from one electron carrier to the next.

Letter A is false, because electrons are received from NADH and FADH2

Letter B is false, because the terminal electron acceptor is usually O2

Letter C is false, because most of the enzymes are part of the inner mitochondrial membrane.
