To reduce one molecule of O2 _ _ _ electron(s) must be passed through the electron transport chain and _ _ _ molecule(s) of NADH ls(are) oxidized.
Correct answer: D. 4:2
- A. 1:1
- B. 4:4
- C. 1:2
- D. 4:2
Explanation
For every 2 electrons carried by respiratory electron chain, one molecule of NADH is oxidized. This gives a ratio of 2:1. Here, four electrons will pass through the chain. So, 2 molecules of NADH will be oxidized which makes option D correct.
