Q. Which of the following statement is correct in relation to the ETS?

Respiration in Plants

Solution:

ETS (Electron transport system or chain) is a series of coenzymes that takes part in the passage of electrons from a chemical to its ultimate acceptor. ETS is present in the inner mitochondrial membrane, 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. In respiration, energy of oxidation-reduction is utilized for the production of proton gradient.
