Question

Which of the following statements best explains why NADH generates more energy than FADH2  when  it goes through the electron transport chain?

Accepted Answer

NADH generates more energy than FADH₂ because it donates its electrons at a higher energy level in the electron transport chain.

Answer

NADH generates more energy because it carries more electrons than FADH₂.

Answer

NADH generates more energy because it has a higher affinity for the electron transport chain proteins than FADH₂.

Answer

NADH generates more energy because it directly contributes more protons to the proton gradient used for ATP synthesis than FADH₂.
