Botany - Respiration in Plants Question with Solution | TestHub

Electron transport system is responsible for oxidation of reduced coenzymes. 1 NADH passes through ETS to release 3 ATP while 1${\mathrm{F}\mathrm{A}\mathrm{D}\mathrm{H}}_2$passes through ETS to release 2 ATP. One molecule of glucose produces 10 NADH (2 from Glycolysis, 2 from link reaction and 6 from Krebs cycle). Thus 30 ATPs will be formed from them. One molecule of glucose also produces 2${\mathrm{F}\mathrm{A}\mathrm{D}\mathrm{H}}_2$from Krebs cycle. Thus 4 ATPs will be formed from them. Thus total ATP produced from ETS is 34
