Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is needed to start the ETC?
A
10 NADH2 and 2 FADH2
B
2 NADH2 and 10 FADH2
C
2 ATP and 2 pyruvates
D
38 ATP and 6 H2O
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Electrons from NADH and FADH2 are then transferred to molecular oxygen, coupled to the formation of an additional 32 to 34 ATP molecules by oxidative phosphorylation.

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: -The process that produces both NADH and FADH2 is the citric acid cycle, the second step in aerobic cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
