FADH2 allows for the formation of 2 molecules of ATP during the Kreb's cycle.
Krebs Cycle is also known as the Citric Acid Cycle. The citric acid cycle begins with acetyl-CoA transferring its two-carbon acetyl group to the four-carbon acceptor compound (oxaloacetate) to form a six-carbon compound (citrate). The citrate then goes through a series of chemical transformations, losing first one, then a second carboxyl group as CO2. The carbons lost as CO2 originate from what was oxaloacetate, not directly from acetyl-CoA. The carbons donated by acetyl-CoA become part of the oxaloacetate carbon backbone after the first turn of the citric acid cycle. Loss of the acetyl-CoA-donated carbons as CO2 requires several turns of the citric acid cycle. However, because of the role of the citric acid cycle in anabolism, they may not be lost since many TCA cycle intermediates are also used as precursors for the biosynthesis of other molecules.[4] Most of the energy made available by the oxidative steps of the cycle is transferred as energy-rich electrons to NAD+, forming NADH. For each acetyl group that enters the citric acid cycle, three molecules of NADH are produced. Electrons are also transferred to the electron acceptor FAD, forming FADH2. At the end of each cycle, the four-carbon oxaloacetate has been regenerated, and the cycle continues

The citric acid cycles converts citrate (produced from the combination of oxaloacetate and Acetyl Coenzyme A) back into oxaloacetate in a series of steps that will end up yielding 2 ATP, 3 NADH and 1 FADH2 per pyruvate. *4 NADH if you include the NADH produced from the creation of Acetyl Coenzyme A in the link reaction.
FADH2 allows for the formation of 2 molecules of ATP during the Kreb's cycle.
In Glycolysis, the final compound formed is Pyruvate. Now, pyruvate has to be transformed to Acetyl-CoA by the substitution of the carboxylic group with a Coenzyme A by pyruvate dehydrogenase. In real terms, Acetyl-CoA is the molecule that "switch on" the Krebs cycle.

In the Krebs Cycle also known as the Citric Acid Cycle\ FDH2, Reduced form of Flavin adenosine dinucleotide, is an electron donor-acceptor molecules that can transfer the energy (bond) from one molecule to the next, and you are most likely to find it in oxidative phosphorylation process (these are the process where oxygen is the final electron acceptor to form ATP). in the metabolism of fat and glucose FADH2 is produce during Beta oxidation and in the citric acid cycle general mechanism: Fatty acid C16 + FAD^+ ====> Fatty acid C14 + acetyl-Coa +FADH2 Succinate + FAD^+ ====> Fumarate + FADH2
20 ATP from 8 NADH 12 ATP from 12 FADH2 9 acetyl co-A --> 9 GTP, 67,5 ATP from 27 NADH, 13,5 ATP from 9 FADH2 minus 2 ATP to start beta-oxidation = 120 ATP
From glycolysis two pyruvates are produced per molecule of glucose. Pyruvate is converted to acetyl CoA which enters the Kreb's cycle. Therefore, one molecule of glucose eventually creates 2 turns of the Krebs cycle. The cycle produces 1 ATP, 3 NADH, and 1 FADH2 per turn. So for each molecules of glucose you will have 2 FADH2.

Two ATP molecules are produced from one FADH2 going through the electron transport chain. For every NADH, three ATP molecules are produced.
# ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) # NADH (a combination of NAD+ and H+) # FADH2 (a combination of FAD+ and 2H+)
