FADH2 is the reduced version of FAD (Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide) which forms from FAD by oxidising succinic acid into fumaric acid. NADH actually carries a hydrogen ion with it and is the reduced form of NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) with a positively charged nitrogen that an electron can neutralize. FAD turns into FADH2 by adding a hydrogen atom on the nitrogen's on the center and right rings. NADH forms by neutralizing the nitrogen ion and adding a hydrogen to the carbon opposite of the ring from that nitrogen.
When FADH2 is converted to FAD, it has been oxidized by losing two hydrogen atoms and releasing two protons and two electrons. This transformation allows FAD to carry out its role in the electron transport chain by accepting and transferring electrons.
During metabolic processes, the body regulates the conversion of FAD to FADH2 through oxidation or reduction by using enzymes that facilitate the transfer of electrons between molecules. This process helps in generating energy for the cells to function properly.
Electrons are brought to the electron transport chain by high-energy electron carriers such as NADH and FADH2. These carriers donate electrons to the chain, which is then used to generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
FAD, or Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide, can be converted into FADH2 through a reduction reaction that involves the addition of two electrons and two protons. This conversion allows FAD to act as a cofactor in various enzymatic reactions that involve the transfer of electrons.
NAD and FAD are reduced in the Krebs cycle and oxidised in the electron transport chain.

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
A fad is a temporary fashion, something short lived. A trend is a general course leading to a more permanent solution
NAD and FAD are reduced in the Krebs cycle and oxidised in the electron transport chain.
Inputs: NADH + H+, ADP, FADH2, O2 Outputs: NAD+, ATP, FAD, H2O
they form FADH2 and NADH
# ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) # NADH (a combination of NAD+ and H+) # FADH2 (a combination of FAD+ and 2H+)
NADH and FADH2 are the two things that pass high-energy electrons on to the electron transport chain. NADH stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. FAD stands for flavin adenine dinucleotide which can be reduced to FADH2.
