Which one of the following statements about the glycerol phosphate shuttle is true?

A. The malate-aspartate shuttle transports electrons from cytosolic NADH into the mitochondrial matrix via an aspartate molecule.
B. NADH molecules produced during glycolysis are transported into the mitochondrial matrix.
C. Using the malate-aspartate shuttle yields less ATP per pair of electrons from NADH than using the glycerol 3-phosphate shuttle.
D. The glycerol 3-phosphate shuttle funnels electrons into the ETC at a later entry point than normal for electrons from NADH.

Answer:

option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

So the statement digestible would be option D. Bit of the following is not true. So electron that enters the complex produces 2.58 P per pair of the electrons. So option D should not be. the reduction that is electrons that enter complex yields approximately 1.5 80 people pair of electrons While it is 2.5, not 1.5.
