Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The energy produced by the Citric Acid Cycle is in the form of high energy electrons on NADH and FADH2, plus one ATP.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glycolysis. Six-carbon glucose is converted into two pyruvates (three carbons each). ATP and NADH are made.
Detailed explanation-3: -During oxidative phosphorylation, electrons derived from NADH and FADH2 combine with O2, and the energy released from these oxidation/ reduction reactions is used to drive the synthesis of ATP from ADP.
Detailed explanation-4: -NADH: High energy electron carrier used to transport electrons generated in Glycolysis and Krebs Cycle to the Electron Transport Chain.
