Question

State whether the following statements are true or false.
Each molecule of NADH produced in the mitochondria provides the energy for two ATP molecules.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

NADH gives up its electron to complex I, which is at a higher energy level than other complexes hence is responsible for contributing more in the buildup of a concentration gradient of hydrogen ions and finally producing three ATP molecule through ATPase.

Each molecule of NADH produced in the mitochondria provides the energy for three ATP molecules.

So, the given statement is false.
