Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electrons from FADH are donated later in the electron transport chain than those by NADH. NADH donates its electrons earlier in the electron transport chain, leading to the production of more ATP compared to FADH, which donates its electrons later in the chain. Therefore, FADH produces less ATP compared to NADH.
