choose all the true statements about the oxidative phosphorylation.

Jump t0 apling Learning Choose all the true statements about the oxidative phosphorylation. The oxidation of FADH2 provides enough energy to produce three ATP molecules. oxidative phosphorylation and the electron transport chain are called coupled Oxidative phosphorylation occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria. The oxidation of FADH2 provides enough energy to produce two ATP molecules. oxidative phosphorylation is an aerobic process. reactions Ne Previous Give Up & View Solution e Check Answer Hint about us careers privacy policy terms of use contact

Explanation / Answer

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER

the electron transport chain only has 3 spots where nadh, fadh2, and gtp can feed its electrons. each of those 3 spots (on the electron transport chain) makes one atp. nadh2 is fed to the first protien, therefore it goes through all 3 making 3 atp's. fadh2 skips the first protien, and deposits its electrons to the second protien, therefore, fadh2's electrons only go through 2 of the protiens, yielding 2 atp

THUS,oxidative phosphorylation and electron transport cycle are coupled reactions which both connected to eachother and produce ATP molecules for the Survival of CELL

SO the oxidation of FADH2 produces only Two ATP molecules & not 3 ATP

In most eukaryotes, this takes place inside Matrix of mitochondria which is the power house of CELL. Almost all aerobic organisms carry out oxidative phosphorylation.
