ites of ATP formation

Sites of ATP formation

When electrons are transported along the respiratory chain, due to high amount of energy released, ATP molecules are synthesised at the following three sites

1. Transfer of electrons from NADH to ubiquinone via flavoprotein (FMN).
2. Transfer of electrons from cyt b to cyt c
3. Transfer of electrons from cyt a to cyt a3
