FADH2 is an electron carrier similar to NADH, but only the second protein in the ETC accepts FADH2 electrons. So FADH2 is used in the ETC, but it produces less ATP due to it only entering the second protein in the ETC.

Why does fadh2 produce fewer ATP molecules than nadh?
NADH produces 3 ATPs because it donates the proton at a "higher" location in the electron transport chain than does FADH2, which is why FADH2 produce only 2 ATPs. NADH and FADH2 donates electrons and protons into the electron transport chain.
When FADH2 has become FAD it has been what?
oxidized. when fad reacts to fadh2 it is said to be reduced
Two products of the Krebs cycle are .?
CO2, NADH/H+, FADH2, ATP.
Electrons are brought to the electron transport by what high energy electron carriers?
NADP if photosynthesis. NAD or FAD if cellular respiration.
How many ATP's come from one FADH2's?
Two ATP molecules are produced from one FADH2 going through the electron transport chain. For every NADH, three ATP molecules are produced.
Where does the electron transport chain get its electrons from?
it gets electrons[2 eletrons from NADH and 2 electrons from FADH2] from NADH and FADH2....In case of NADH- it is directly from glycolysis but in case of FADH2-it is not directly attached to ETC but succinate is oxidised to fumarate realising FADH2
Is FADH2 an electron acceptor?
No, FADH2 is in the "accepted" state. FADH+ is the form of the molecule that is able to accept electrons.
How many proton pumps in FADH2?
Just 1 -- Complex I. Complexes IIA and IIB are "powered" by the redox reactions of L-3-P and succinate
What are two of the product of the kerbs cycle?
FADH2

What electron carriers are produced in the Krebs cycle?
There are two electron carriers produced in the citric acid (Krebs Cycle). The first is NAD+ or NADH in its reduced form. The other is FAD+ which becomes FADH2 after being reduced. One turn of the citric acid cycle produces 1 and 3 molecules of FADH2 and NADH respectively.
Why does fadh2 produce fewer ATP molecules than nadh?
NADH produces 3 ATPs because it donates the proton at a "higher" location in the electron transport chain than does FADH2, which is why FADH2 produce only 2 ATPs. NADH and FADH2 donates electrons and protons into the electron transport chain.
When FADH2 has become FAD it has been what?
oxidized. when fad reacts to fadh2 it is said to be reduced

CO2, NADH/H+, FADH2, ATP.
In addition to ATP what types of molecules are produced in the kerbs cycle?
Gtp,nadh2,fadh2,co2
Electrons are brought to the electron transport by what high energy electron carriers?
NADP if photosynthesis. NAD or FAD if cellular respiration.
What is generated by the Kreb cycle?
FADH2 and NADHIt gives four products.They are ATP,CO@, FADH2 and NADH
