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: -Products and Functions of the Krebs Cycle For one cycle, two molecules of carbon, three molecules of NADH, one molecule of FADH2 and one molecule of ATP or GTP are produced.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The ATP is used as a source of energy for cellular processes. What happens to the NADH and FADH2 molecules that are produced during the Krebs cycle? The NADH and FADH2 will be used in the electron transport chain to generate large amounts of ATP.

Detailed explanation-5: -So, the correct option is ‘ Krebs cycle’.
