Chapter 18, Problem 10P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for, FAD is better electron acceptor than NAD+ in the reaction catalyzed by succinate dehydrogenase.

Concept introduction:

An electron transport chain (ETC) is the series of redox reactions that involves the transfer of electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors. This transfer of electrons is coupled with the proton transfer (H+) across the membrane. This then creates the electrochemical gradient resulting in the formation of ATP.
