ATP-synthase
The process that uses NADH and FADH to create ATP is oxidative phosphorylation. This process occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane and involves the transfer of electrons from NADH and FADH to the electron transport chain, leading to the production of ATP through a series of redox reactions.
There are many ways to product ATP. The most efficient way to produce ATP is Aerobic respiration, this produces 34 ATP molecules.
No, non-cyclic electron flow does not directly produce ATP. It generates NADPH, which is used in the Calvin Cycle to produce ATP indirectly by providing reducing power for the synthesis of carbohydrates. ATP production occurs in cyclic electron flow by generating a proton gradient that drives ATP synthase.
The electron transport chain helps to create a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This gradient drives the movement of protons back across the membrane through ATP synthase, which then synthesizes ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate.
