Question
Chapter 8.2, Problem 4C
Summary Introduction
To determine: The rate of oxidative phosphorylation if most of the adenosine diphosphate (ADP) in the cell were to become converted to adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Concept introduction: The process, in which ATP is formed due to the transfer of electrons from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH2) to oxygen (O2) by a series of electron carries, is called as oxidative phosphorylation. This process occurs within the mitochondria.
