Which compound accepts electrons from NADH , producing a compound that can pass through the inner membrane? 1. oxaloacetate
2. aspartate
3. glutamate
4. a-ketoglutarate

The correct answer is - 1. oxaloacetate.

Explanation:

During the electron transport chain, the oxaloacetate is converted to aspartate by the reduction of NADH and accepting electrons in the mitochondria. Aspartate is then moved through the inner membrane to the cytosol.

This is the reaction also known as the synthesis of the aspartate. Aspartate either again converted to OAA (oxaloacetate) or move to the biosynthesis of proteins and biosynthesis of purine and pyrimidines.

the answer would be a
