Reducing NAD+ to NADH in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, producing a proton gradient for ATP synthesis in the mitochondria

Which of the following statements about replication origins are correct?

Replication proceeds in both directions, the DNA sequence at the origin of replication is recognized by specific proteins that bind to the origin, bacterial chromosomes have a single origin of replication, but eukaryotic chromosomes have many origins, the two strands of DNA at the origin of replication are separated, creating a replication bubble
