A
Key Concept
ATP yield from NADH and FADH2
Explanation
During oxidative phosphorylation, each NADH molecule yields approximately 2.5 ATP, and each FADH2 yields approximately 1.5 ATP. To calculate the number of NADH and FADH2 molecules, we can set up a system of equations based on their ATP yields and solve for the number of each molecule.
