The electron transport train relies on electron carriers NADH and FADH2 to function normally. An experiment was conducted to determine the efficiency of both carriers. In the first trial, NADH was removed, and in the second trial, FADH2 was removed. If both trials were given the same amount of substrate, which is likely to produce more energy and why? Include the role of the various ETC complexes.
