Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Each FADH₂ molecule entering the electron transport chain typically results in the production of approximately 1.5 ATP molecules due to its involvement in the electron transport chain at a point that results in fewer protons being pumped across the mitochondrial membrane compared to NADH.
