FADH2 is a less powerful reducing agent (electron donor) than NADH. What is the consequence of this in oxidative phosphorylation? FADH2 requires more steps than NADH does in electron transport to become oxidized. The electrons from FADH; enter electron transport at a higher energy level than the electrons from NADH. A molecule of FADH, is only capable of producing 2 molecules of ATP, while a molecule of NADH is capable of producing 3 molecules of ATP Oxidation of FADH2 occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell, while oxidation of NADH occurs in the mitochondria. FADH, can only donate 1 phosphate group to ATP, while NADH can donate 2 phosphate groups to ATP.

The Relative Efficiency of ATP Synthesis in Noncyclic versus Cyclic Photophosphorylation If noncyclic photosynthetic electron transport leads to the translocation of 7 H+/2e- and cyclic photosynthetic electron transport leads to the translocation of 2 H+/e-, what is the relative photosynthetic efficiency of ATP synthesis (expressed as the number of photons absorbed per ATP synthesized) for noncyclic versus cyclic photophosphorylation?

Which of the following statements concerning oxidative phosphorylation is false? Group of answer choices: The electron transport chain generates an electrochemical gradient that drives the production of ATP. ATP synthase with fewer subunits in its c ring will produce more ATP per proton. A “loose” β subunit of ATP synthase becomes a “tight” site as it produces ATP. When the supply of NADH and QH2 (ubiquinol) decreases, ATP synthase produces more ATP.
