The ATP yield from NADH transported across the mitochondrial inner membrane by the glycerol phosphate shuttle is the same as if the malate/aspartate shuttle were used.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ATP yield from NADH transported across the mitochondrial inner membrane by the glycerol phosphate shuttle is lower than if the malate/aspartate shuttle were used. This is because the glycerol phosphate shuttle only produces 1.5 ATP per NADH, while the malate/aspartate shuttle produces 2.5 ATP per NADH.
