Question

Which reduced Coenzymes start the production of ATP?

Answer 1

Electron transport system:

1. The electron transport system in the inner mitochondrial membrane begins the generation of ATP using the reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH₂ generated during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle.
2. Oxidation of NADH and FADH₂ is coupled with ATP synthesis by oxidative phosphorylation.
3. On the oxidation of one molecule of NADH, 3 molecules of ATP are produced, and on the oxidation of one molecule of FADH₂, 2 molecules of ATP are produced.
