Summary Introduction

Introduction: The process in which adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is formed due to the transfer of electrons from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH2) to oxygen (O2) by a series of electron carries, is called as oxidative phosphorylation. This process occurs within the mitochondria.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Assuming all the NADH+H+ and FADH2 are used for oxidative phosphorylation, how many net ATP are made from 1 molecule of glucose? (hint: don’t forget to also include substrate level phosphorylation)
In the presence of excess oxygen, a complete oxidation of seven molecules of glucose into carbon dioxide and water, by a yeast cell, would produce approximately ATP molecules via oxidative phosphorylation only. (Consider NADH = 3 ATP and FADH2 = 2 ATP)
(a) NAD+ kinase catalyzes the ATP-dependent conversion of NAD* to NADP+. How many reducing equivalents are involved in this reaction? (b) How many reducing equivalents are involved in the conversion of ferric to ferrous ion? (c) How many reducing equivalents are involved in reducing one molecule of oxygen gas to water?
