Solution
The correct option is A Enzyme complex I accepts electrons and H+ from NADH and FADH2 There are four protein complexes (labelled complex l-IV) in the electron transport chain, which are involved in moving electrons from NADH and FADH2 to molecular oxygen. Complex I accepts electrons and H+ from NADH while complex II accepts from FADH2.
