The oxidation of a molecule of FADH2 yield less ATP(2ATP) and a molecule of NADH2 yields 3ATP but FADH2 yields only 2 ATP because

Question

The oxidation of a molecule of FADH2 yield less ATP(2ATP) and a molecule of NADH2 yields 3ATP but FADH2 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 NADH2 (D) Is formed in the cytosol and energy is lost when it shuttles its electron across the mitochondrial membrane

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

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

Q. The oxidation of a molecule of $F A D H_{2}$ yield less $A TP (2 A TP)$ and a molecule of $N A D H_{2}$ yields $3 A TP$ but $F A D H_{2}$ yields only $2 A TP$ because

Carries few electrons

Passes its electrons to a transport molecule later in the chain and at a lower level

Has a lower energy conformation than $N A D H_{2}$

Is formed in the cytosol and energy is lost when it shuttles its electron across the mitochondrial membrane
