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.
The main electron carriers of the Krebs cycle are NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide). These molecules accept electrons and transport them to the electron transport chain for ATP production.
Most of the energy comes from the electron transport chain by oxidative phosphorylation. However there is energy produced in the Krebs cycle and Glycolysis this is called substrate level phosphorylation.

The Krebs cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle, forms several substances, including ATP (energy currency of the cell), NADH, FADH2 (electron carriers for the electron transport chain), and carbon dioxide. These products play crucial roles in further energy production and biochemical processes within the cell.
The molecule you are referring to is NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). It acts as a coenzyme electron carrier in the Krebs cycle by accepting and donating electrons during the oxidation-reduction reactions that occur in the cycle.
In the Krebs cycle NAD+ is reduced to NADH. This is one of the electron carriers. Also FAD is reduced to FADH2 which is the other electron carrier produced during the Krebs cycle.
The Krebs cycle, or citric acid cycle, produces 4 NADH electron carriers and carbon dioxide. Other products include FADH2 and ATP.

The main electron carriers in the Krebs cycle are NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide). These molecules are responsible for carrying electrons to the electron transport chain where ATP is produced.

false. it produces ATP, electron carriers and carbon dioxide.
The Krebs cycle provides the electron transport chain with the necessary molecules (NADH and FADH2) to produce ATP efficiently. Without the Krebs cycle, the electron transport chain would lack the electron carriers needed for ATP synthesis, resulting in minimal ATP production.
The Kreb's Cycle is a repeating series of reactions that produces ATP, electron carriers, and carbon dioxide.
NAD+ and FAD are electron carriers that function in the Krebs cycle to accept and transport electrons from various reactions within the cycle. They play a crucial role in transferring these electrons to the electron transport chain for ATP production.
