Number of ATPs produced from adipose tissue from 1 NADH (NAD+/ NADH) through respiratory chain:

A
0 ATP
B
1 ATP
C
2 ATP
D
2.6 ATP
High-Yield Explanation
Ans : D (2.6 ATP) > and , .Because of these inequalities, the cellular reduction potentials of these two pyridine nucleotides are not equivalent, and under prevailing cellular conditions, the NADP+/NADPH couple is a much better electron donating system than the NAD/NADH couple. Because each NADH is worth 2.5-3 ATP, each NADPH can be assigned a value of 3.5-4 ATP.
