Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hydrogen atoms carried by NADH + H+ and FADH2 are transferred to the electron transport chain (ETC). The electrons from these hydrogen atoms flow through the ETC, releasing energy that is used to pump protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane. The proton gradient that is established drives the synthesis of ATP through ATP synthase. Therefore, NADH + H+ and FADH2 carry hydrogen atoms to the ETC, not directly to ATP, ADP or ATP synthase.
