Question

The oxidation of a molecule of $FADH_2$ yield less $ATP\left(2ATP\right)$ and a molecule of $NADH_2$ yields $3ATP$ but $FADH_2$ yields only $2 ATP$ because

• A. Carries few electrons
• B. Passes its electrons to a transport molecule later in the chain and at a lower level
• C. Has a lower energy conformation than $NADH_2$
• D. Is formed in the cytosol and energy is lost when it shuttles its electron across the mitochondrial membrane

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Correct answer is (b) Passes its electrons to a transport molecule later in the chain and at a lower level
