Which of the following statements is incorrect?
Options
- ADuring aerobic respiration, the role of oxygen is limited to the terminal stage.
- BIn ETC (Electron Transport Chain), one molecule of NADH + H + gives rise to 2 ATP molecules, and one FADH 2 gi
- CATP is synthesized through complex V .
- DOxidation-reduction reactions produce proton gradients in respiration.
Correct answer
B. In ETC (Electron Transport Chain), one molecule of NADH + H + gives rise to 2 ATP molecules, and one FADH 2 gi
Step-by-step solution
Aerobic respiration is the process that leads to the complete oxidation of organic substances in the presence of oxygen and releases CO 2 , water, and a large amount of energy present in the substrate. The crucial events in aerobic respiration are: The complete oxidation of pyruvate by the stepwise removal of all the hydrogen atoms, leaving three molecules of CO 2 The passing on of the electrons removed as part of the hydrogen atoms to molecular O 2 with the simultaneous synthesis of ATP. When the electrons pass fr
