Q. How many ATP are produced when one molecule of $FADH_2$ is oxidized to $FAD$ through Electron Transport System?

WBJEEWBJEE 2014Respiration in Plants

Solution:

The number of ATP molecules synthesised depends on the nature of the electron donor. Oxidation of one molecule of NADH gives rise to 3 molecules of ATP, while that of one molecule of $FADH_2$ produces 2 molecules of ATP.
