Which of the following is incorrect regarding oxidative phosphorylation?
Options
- AOxidation of 1 molecule of NADH gives 3 molecules of ATP .
- BThe role of oxygen is limited to the terminal stage of the process.
- COxygen acts as the final hydrogen acceptor.
- DCytochrome c is located towards the inner side (matrix) of the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Correct answer
D. Cytochrome c is located towards the inner side (matrix) of the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Step-by-step solution
1 NADH is equivalent to 3 ATPs . Oxygen is the terminal electron or proton acceptor in ETC . Cytochrome c is located towards IMS, i.e., on the outer side of the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
