Answer:

The electron transport chain can convert the energy from one glucose molecule's worth of FADH2 and NADH + H+ into as many as 34 ATP

Step-by-step explanation:

The process of forming ATP from the electron transport chain is known as oxidative phosphorylation. Electrons carried by NADH + H+ and FADH2 are transferred to oxygen via a series of electron carriers, and ATPs are formed. Three ATPs are formed from each NADH + H+, and two ATPs are formed for each FADH2 in eukaryotes.
