Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which molecules are made during the Krebs Cycle to power the electron transport chain?
A
ATP and CO2
B
ATP and NADH
C
NADH and FADH2
D
ADP, NAD+ and FAD+
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The NADH and FADH generated during the Krebs cycle fuels the electron transport chain which drives this process, ultimately producing 38 molecules of ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Overview of the Krebs or citric acid cycle, which is a series of reactions that takes in acetyl CoA and produces carbon dioxide, NADH, FADH2, and ATP or GTP.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the Krebs cycle, two ATP, six NADH +H+, and two FADH2 were produced. A net of four ATPs was produced from glycolysis through the Krebs cycle. More ATP will be produced from reduced coenzymes in the mitochondria during the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-5: -NADH and FADH2 carry high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain in cellular respiration. NADPH carries high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain in photosynthesis.
