Detailed explanation-1: -The Krebs cycle has two types of energy-carrying electron carriers: NAD+ and FAD. The transfer of electrons to FAD during the Kreb’s Cycle produces a molecule of FADH2. Carbon dioxide is also released as a waste product of these reactions.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the citric acid cycle, the two carbons that were originally the acetyl group of acetyl CoA are released as carbon dioxide, one of the major products of cellular respiration, through a series of enzymatic reactions.
Detailed explanation-3: -The molecules of carbon dioxide are produced in the second stage of cellular respiration, that is, in the Krebs cycle. These molecules of carbon dioxide are carried by the circulating blood to the alveolar tissues; from there, it is expelled out of the body via a breathing mechanism.
