Which one of following is complex V of the ETS of inner mitochondrial membrane?
Options
- ANADH Dehydrogenase
- BCytochrome oxidase
- CUbiquinone
- DATP synthase
Correct answer
D. ATP synthase
Step-by-step solution
When the electrons pass from one carrier to another via complex I to IV in the electron transport chain, they are coupled to ATP synthase (complex V) for the production of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate. The number of ATP molecules synthesised depends on the nature of the electron donor. Oxidation of one molecule of NADH gives rise to 3 molecules of ATP, while that of one molecule of FADH 2 produces 2 molecules of ATP.
