Detailed explanation-1: -The electron transport chain and ATP synthase are embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane. NADH and FADH2 made in the citric acid cycle (in the mitochondrial matrix) deposit their electrons into the electron transport chain at complexes I and II, respectively.
Detailed explanation-2: -NADH and FADH2 molecules formed during Glycolysis and Krebs Cycle carry their electrons to the electron transport chain. The electron transport chain creates a proton gradient that ultimately leads to the production of a large amount of ATP.
Detailed explanation-3: -Although some ATP is generated via the GTP derived from the Krebs cycle, most of the ATP generated during aerobic respiration comes from oxidative phosphorylation. 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-4: -Basically, the NADH and FADH2 molecules are affixed with electrons and are transferred to the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
