What is correct about the electron transport system?
Options
- AEnergy stored in ATPs is utilised for synthesis of NADH + H + .
- BEnergy stored in ATPs is utilised for synthesis of F A D H 2 .
- CEnergy stored in NADH + H + . and F A D H 2 is utilized for synthesis of ATPs.
- DEnergy stored in glucose is utilized for synthesis of NADH + H + , and F A D H 2 only.
Correct answer
C. Energy stored in NADH + H + . and F A D H 2 is utilized for synthesis of ATPs.
Step-by-step solution
Mechanism of ATP production: When the electrons pass from one electron carrier to another carrier (from complex I to IV) in ETS, they are coupled to ATP synthase (complex V) and thus ATP are synthesized.
