The oxidation of a molecule of FADH2 yield less ATP (2ATP) and a molecule of NADH2 yields 3ATP but FADH2 yields only 2 ATP because
A
Carries few electrons
B
Passes its electrons to a transport molecule later in the chain and at a lower level
C
Has a lower energy conformation than NADH2
D
Is formed in the cytosol and energy is lost when it shuttles its electron across the mitochondrial membrane
Answer
Passes its electrons to a transport molecule later in the chain and at a lower level
