Explain how ATP is formed through the electron transport chain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

i. The `NADH_(2)` and `FADH_(2)` molecules formed during glycolysis and tricarboxylic acid cycle, participate in the electron transport chain, which occurs in the mitochondria.
ii. Each moleculae of `NADH_(2)`, yields 3 molecules of ATP.
iii. Also, each molecule of `FADH_(2)` yields 2 molecules of ATP.
