NADH and FADH2

Detailed explanation-1: -To summarise, the Krebs cycle produces 4 CO2, 6 NADH, 2 FADH2, and 2 ATPs for the full oxidation of a glucose molecule. On oxidation in the electron transport chain, each NADH molecule can produce 2-3 ATPs, while each FADH2 molecule produces 2 ATPs.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer: Product of the Krebs cycle essential for oxidative phosphorylation is NADH and FADH2. Explanation: Reduced high energy compounds, NADH and FADH2 are also produced.
Detailed explanation-3: -FADH2 and NADH are created from FAD and NAD+ through reduction-oxidation reactions in the Krebs cycle during respiration as seen below: This cycle gives off small amounts of energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, and produces these compounds, FADH2 and NADH. The Krebs cycle is like a wheel.
