10 Quantitative Review Energy Processing 1. The wavelength and frequency of a photon determines the energy level of that photon. The wavelength of a photon is directly proportional to velocity and indirectly proportional to frequency as shown in the following equation: λ = v/f.

In cellular respiration, NADH AND FADH 2 donate electrons to the electron transport chain in an effort to create ATP. FADH 2 donates electrons at a different location on the chain than NADH and, therefore, results in the creation of less ATP than NADH. In fact, every FADH 2 molecule creates 1.5 ATP while every NADH molecule creates 2.5 ATP. In a catabolic process that results in 11 NADH and 3 FADH 2, how many ATP can be created from the electron transport chain? 3.
