Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the malate-aspartate shuttle, electrons from NADH are transferred to oxaloacetate, forming malate. The malate is then transported across the mitochondrial membrane and reoxidized to oxaloacetate, and the electrons are transferred to NAD+ to form NADH. This NADH can then enter the electron transport chain to generate ATP.
