During the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA, which occurs in the mitochondria, one molecule of FADH2 is not produced. Instead, the process generates one molecule of NADH for each pyruvate molecule converted. Since one glucose molecule produces two pyruvate molecules, a total of two NADH molecules are produced during the formation of acetyl CoA from one glucose molecule. Thus, no FADH2 is produced in this specific step.
One acetyl group produces 1 molecule of FADH2 in the citric acid cycle.
During cellular respiration, one molecule of pyruvate is converted into one molecule of acetyl-CoA before entering the Krebs cycle. This conversion reduces one molecule of NAD to NADH. In the Krebs cycle, each acetyl-CoA generates three NADH and one FADH2. Therefore, from one pyruvate, a total of four NADH and one FADH2 are produced.
During one turn of the Krebs cycle (also known as the citric acid cycle or TCA cycle), three molecules of NADH and one molecule of FADH2 are produced. Since each glucose molecule yields two acetyl-CoA molecules, the overall yield from one glucose molecule is six NADH and two FADH2. These electron carriers are then utilized in the electron transport chain to generate ATP.
Two FADH2 molecules are produced in the preparatory step of cellular respiration.
One molecule of acetyl CoA enters the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle), where it produces 3 NADH, 1 FADH2, and 1 ATP (or GTP). Each NADH can generate approximately 2.5 ATP and each FADH2 can produce about 1.5 ATP during oxidative phosphorylation. Thus, from one acetyl CoA: 3 NADH × 2.5 ATP/NADH = 7.5 ATP 1 FADH2 × 1.5 ATP/FADH2 = 1.5 ATP 1 ATP (from direct substrate-level phosphorylation) Adding these together gives: 7.5 + 1.5 + 1 = 10 ATP. Therefore, one molecule of acetyl CoA can yield about 10 ATP when oxygen is present.

These electron carriers are then utilized in the electron transport chain to generate ATP.
The citric acid cycles converts citrate (produced from the combination of oxaloacetate and Acetyl Coenzyme A) back into oxaloacetate in a series of steps that will end up yielding 2 ATP, 3 NADH and 1 FADH2 per pyruvate. *4 NADH if you include the NADH produced from the creation of Acetyl Coenzyme A in the link reaction.

FADH2 allows for the formation of 2 molecules of ATP during the Kreb's cycle.
20 ATP from 8 NADH 12 ATP from 12 FADH2 9 acetyl co-A --> 9 GTP, 67,5 ATP from 27 NADH, 13,5 ATP from 9 FADH2 minus 2 ATP to start beta-oxidation = 120 ATP
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
In one turn of the Krebs cycle (also known as the citric acid cycle), each acetyl-CoA that enters produces three NADH and one FADH2. Since one glucose molecule generates two acetyl-CoA molecules during glycolysis, the total electron carriers produced from one glucose molecule are six NADH and two FADH2. Therefore, the total number of electron carriers made in the Krebs cycle from one glucose molecule is eight.
NADH is produced in the mitochondria during the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain of cellular respiration. FADH2 is also produced in the mitochondria during the citric acid cycle.
Krebs Cycle is also known as the Citric Acid Cycle. The citric acid cycle begins with acetyl-CoA transferring its two-carbon acetyl group to the four-carbon acceptor compound (oxaloacetate) to form a six-carbon compound (citrate). The citrate then goes through a series of chemical transformations, losing first one, then a second carboxyl group as CO2. The carbons lost as CO2 originate from what was oxaloacetate, not directly from acetyl-CoA. The carbons donated by acetyl-CoA become part of the oxaloacetate carbon backbone after the first turn of the citric acid cycle. Loss of the acetyl-CoA-donated carbons as CO2 requires several turns of the citric acid cycle. However, because of the role of the citric acid cycle in anabolism, they may not be lost since many TCA cycle intermediates are also used as precursors for the biosynthesis of other molecules.[4] Most of the energy made available by the oxidative steps of the cycle is transferred as energy-rich electrons to NAD+, forming NADH. For each acetyl group that enters the citric acid cycle, three molecules of NADH are produced. Electrons are also transferred to the electron acceptor FAD, forming FADH2. At the end of each cycle, the four-carbon oxaloacetate has been regenerated, and the cycle continues
