Multiple Choice
In oxidative phosphorylation, how many electrons does one molecule of NADH donate to Complex I (NADH dehydrogenase) of the electron transport chain?
A
1 electron
B
4 electrons
C
6 electrons
D
2 electrons
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that NADH is a key electron carrier in cellular respiration, specifically in oxidative phosphorylation.
Recall that NADH donates electrons to Complex I (NADH dehydrogenase) of the electron transport chain.
Recognize that NADH carries electrons in pairs because it is derived from the reduction of NAD+ by two electrons and one proton.
Know that Complex I accepts these electrons from NADH and transfers them through a series of cofactors within the complex.
Conclude that one molecule of NADH donates 2 electrons to Complex I during oxidative phosphorylation.
