Question

NADP IS EQUAL TO HOW MUCH ATP?

FAD IS EQUAL TO HOW MUCH ATP?

FADH2 IS EQUAL TO HOW MUCH ATP?

Answer 1

Energy equivalents of ATP:

• The metabolic unit of energy exchange is the ATP equivalent defined as the amount of energy released upon hydrolysis of ATP to ADP.

• The number of ATP molecules synthesised depends on the nature of the electron donor.

• NADP is worth 3 ATP, each FAD is worth 2 ATP, and each FADH2 equals to 2 ATP.
• But the subject is still open to debate.
