**Table: Metabolic Compounds in Organisms**

| Organisms | ATP | NADH | NADPH | FADH₂ | Ethanol |
|-----------|-----|------|-------|-------|---------|
| 1         | 20  | 100  | 0     | 0     | 50      |
| 2         | 350 | 400  | 0     | 100   | 1       |
| 3         | 500 | 410  | 200   | 100   | 1       |

**Explanation:**

This table presents data on the metabolic compounds present in three different organisms. The columns represent different compounds: ATP, NADH, NADPH, FADH₂, and Ethanol. The rows correspond to each organism.

- **ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate):** Energy-carrying molecule. Organism 1 has 20, Organism 2 has 350, and Organism 3 has 500.
- **NADH (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide):** Coenzyme involved in redox reactions. Organism 1 has 100, Organism 2 has 400, and Organism 3 has 410.
- **NADPH (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate):** Coenzyme involved in biosynthetic reactions. Organism 1 has 0, Organism 2 has 0, and Organism 3 has 200.
- **FADH₂ (Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide):** Another coenzyme involved in redox reactions. Only organisms 2 and 3 have this, both with 100.
- **Ethanol:** A byproduct of anaerobic respiration. Organism 1 produces 50, while organisms 2 and 3 produce 1.
