Detailed explanation-1: -NADPH carries high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain in photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-2: -High-energy electrons are released from NADH and FADH2, and they move along electron transport chains, like those used in photosynthesis. The electron transport chains are on the inner membrane of the mitochondrion. As the high-energy electrons are transported along the chains, some of their energy is captured.
Detailed explanation-3: -NADH: High energy electron carrier used to transport electrons generated in Glycolysis and Krebs Cycle to the Electron Transport Chain.
Detailed explanation-4: -Both NADH and FADH2 are high energy/unstable compounds, like ATP. When electrons are removed from NAPH or FADH2, that is when these molecules are oxidized, this energy is released, and NAD+ and FAD are regenerated.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
