How Do You Convert Nadh to Atp

When electrons from NADH move through the transport chain, about 10 H +start superscript, plus, end superscript ions are pumped from the matrix to the intermembrane space, so each NADH yields about 2.5 ATP.

How many ATP do you get from one NADH?

For every pair of electrons transported to the electron transport chain by a molecule of NADH, between 2 and 3 ATP are generated.

How does 1 NADH produce 3 ATP?

NADH produces 3 ATP during the ETC (Electron Transport Chain) with oxidative phosphorylation because NADH gives up its electron to Complex I, which is at a higher energy level than the other Complexes. … The electron moves again to Complex IV and again pumps more electrons across the membrane.
