What is the name of the reaction pathway responsible for generating the majority of reduced NAD/FAD that is subsequently converted to ATP energy at the electron transport chain?
Citric acid cycle/ Krebs cycle / Tricarboxylic acid cycle is the name of the reaction pathway responsible for generating the majority of reduced NAD/FAD that is subsequently converted to ATP energy at the electron transport chain.
Each turn of the cycle forms 3 NADH and 1 FADH2 molecule.
These NADH andaand FADH2 molecules made in the citric acid cycle (in the mitochondrial matrix) deposit their electrons into the electron transport chain.
This step regenerates NAD+ and FAD (the oxidized carriers) for use in the citric acid cycle.
