Best Answer

NADH and FADH2 are electron carriers. They are said to have reducing power because they donate electrons to components of the electron transport chain.

How many ATP's nadh's fadh2's are produced from the Krebs cycle?

Two acetyl CoA molecules are consumed to produce 4 CO2, (2ATP), 6 NADH and 2 FADH2. The ATP molecules are produced by substrate-level phosphorylation in glycolysis.one NADH can make 3 ATPone FADH2 can make 2 ATPyou go through krebs cycle twice because you have 2 pyruvates coming from glycolysis, so even though you make 3 NADH, you make 6 NADH in the end since you go through twice.6 x 3 = 18 ATPFADH2 is made once each go-around, so you have a total of 2 FADH22 x 2 = 4 ATP18 + 4 = 22 ATP produced from JUST the krebs cycle


The role of oxygen molecule in Chemiosmosis?

Oxygen is an extremely electronegative element. It acts as the final electron acceptor for the electron transport chain in cellular respiration. The electron transport chain is required to process NADH and FADH2. Oxygen also increases the proton concentration gradient across the mitochondria inner membrane. Without oxygen to accept the Hydrogen ions and form H2O, cellular respiration stops. Oxygen is vital to the Citric Acid cycle to recycle the H+ ions. Therefore, if oxygen is removed, the body begins using anaerobic processing of NADH. Glycolysis requires NAD+, yet without aerobic respiration NADH can not be converted back to NAD+.


Is one molecule of water formed during the formation of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate?

Yes.The synthesis of ATP from ADP and Pi (inorganic phosphate) eliminates one molecule of water. It is a condensation reaction. More specifically, since the eliminated molecule is water, it is a dehydration reaction.


What produces ATP nadh and co2?

Answer During Glycolysis NAD+ accepts a pair of high-energy electrons and becomes NADH.


When is FADH2 produced?

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

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

NADH

Where does the electron transport chain get the high-energy electrons that are passed down the chain?

The high-energy electrons that are passed to the electron transport chain combine with O2 and H+ ions. This results to the formation of water molecules.
