On average, how many ATPs would be made if 4 NADH and 6 FADH₂ molecules donated their high-energy electrons to the mitochondrial electron-transport chain?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Each NADH molecule generates 3 ATPs and each FADH2 molecule generates 2 ATPs through oxidative phosphorylation in the electron transport chain. Therefore, 4 NADH molecules would generate 12 ATPs (4x3=12) and 6 FADH2 molecules would generate 12 ATPs (6x2=12) for a total of 24 ATPs.
