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.

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.

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.


What is generated by the Kreb cycle?

FADH2 and NADHIt gives four products.They are ATP,CO@, FADH2 and NADH


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.


How many FADH2 are produced in the preparatory step?

Two FADH2 molecules are produced in the preparatory step of cellular respiration.

fadh2


Which molecule could be termed the final resting place last molecule to be reduced final electron acceptor of the electrons donated by nadh and fadh2 to the etc?

Oxygen is typically considered the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain (ETC) during cellular respiration. It accepts electrons from NADH and FADH2 to form water, which marks the end of the electron transport chain and generates ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.


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.
