What two hydrogen and electron carriers are produced in Glycolysis and the Krebs cycle
A
ATP and CO2
B
CO2 and Water
C
NADH and FADH2
D
ATP Synthase and Oxygen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -NADH: High energy electron carrier used to transport electrons generated in Glycolysis and Krebs Cycle to the Electron Transport Chain. FADH2: High energy electron carrier used to transport electrons generated in Glycolysis and Krebs Cycle to the Electron Transport Chain.

Detailed explanation-2: -The net energy output for one glucose molecule from glycolysis through the Krebs cycle is: 4 ATP, 10 NADH + H+, and 2 FADH2.

Detailed explanation-3: -All told, the Krebs cycle forms (per two molecules of pyruvic acid) two ATP molecules, ten NADH molecules, and two FADH2 molecules. The NADH and the FADH2 will be used in the electron transport system.

Detailed explanation-4: -A hydrogen carrier is an organic macromolecule that transports atoms of hydrogen from one place to another inside a cell or from cell to cell for use in various metabolical processes. Examples include NADPH, NADH, and FADH.

Detailed explanation-5: -In the matrix, NADH deposits electrons at Complex I, turning into NAD+ and releasing a proton into the matrix. FADH2 in the matrix deposits electrons at Complex II, turning into FAD and releasing 2 H+. The electrons from Complexes I and II are passed to the small mobile carrier Q.
