Oxidative phosphorylation and ATP yield
What Oxidative phosphorylation and ATP yield means in Biology A-Level, as defined for OCR.
Definition of Oxidative phosphorylation and ATP yield
Check what you remember
Read the wording for your board, then hide it and explain Oxidative phosphorylation and ATP yield in your own words. Rough notes are fine. This is a self-check, with no mark or grade.
Reference: OCR
More hydrogen removal produces more reduced NAD and reduced FAD, so more ATP is generated by oxidative phosphorylation.
