The electron transport chain and chemiosmosis produces ______ ATP from each NADH and/or _________ ATP from each FADH₂ entering the system.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electron transport chain and chemiosmosis produce approximately 3 ATP from each NADH and 2 ATP from each FADH2 entering the system. This is due to the different points at which NADH and FADH2 enter the electron transport chain, with NADH contributing its electrons earlier in the chain than FADH2, thus leading to a slightly higher ATP yield for NADH.
