For each glucose that enters glycolysis, 10 NADH enter the electron transport chain.
- NADH and FADH, which function as electron transporters as they move through the inner membrane region, are involved in the processes of the electron transport chain.
- Electrons are transferred from NADH to the electron transport chain at complex I, where they transit through the other complexes. In this mechanism, NADH is oxidized to NAD.
- The four protein complexes of the electron transport chain use this energy to oxidize NADH and FADH2 (ETC).
- Each of the three previous stages of respiration—glycolysis, the conversion of pyruvate into acetyl-CoA, and the citric acid cycle—contributes two of the ten NADH molecules that enter the electron transport.
- The citric acid cycle contributes six of the molecules. The citric acid cycle is where the two FADH2 come from.
