Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: Out of 38 ATP molecules produced per glucose, 32 ATP molecules are formed from NADH/ FADH2 in the respiratory chain.
Detailed explanation-2: -The oxidation of one molecule of NADH thus leads to the synthesis of three molecules of ATP, whereas the oxidation of FADH2, which enters the electron transport chain at complex II, yields only two ATP molecules.
Detailed explanation-3: -Inside the mitochondria, one molecule of NADH is equivalent to 3 ATP.
Detailed explanation-4: -Reaction to Transition: 2 NADH generates 6 ATP. The cycle of citric acid: By oxidative phosphorylation, 6 NADH generates 18 ATP. One molecule of NADH is equivalent to two ATP in the cytoplasm. One NADH molecule is equivalent to three ATP molecules inside the mitochondria.
