Why are fewer ATP molecules generated when only FADH_(2) acts as an electron carrier?
Select the correct answer below:
When only FADH_(2) is available, the electron transport chain no longer functions. Then the proton gradient is not created, stopping the production of ATP by ATP synthase.
When FADH_(2) is the final acceptor, the final energy in the electron transport chain is higher, which means less energy was available to pump protons across the membrane.
When only FADH_(2) is available, complex I of the electron transport chain is not active, which reduces the rate of proton pumping, slowing down the production of ATP.
FADH_(2) pumps protons more slowly than NADH, reducing the rate of ATP production.
