Although only two                               They are the coenzymes
new molecules of ATP                                       NADH and FADH2  !

   are created in this
              cycle...

       other important
            substances

         are produced
               as well.

By the   While NADPH is used                      ...in respiration,   I see...
 way...  in photosynthesis...                      it's just NADH.

     These coenzymes
create a huge amount
of ATP in the electron
 transport chain that

            follows.

                               So...the coenzymes NADH
                               and FADH2 continue on to

                                       the next stage.

                                               But what do they do to
                                                produce so much ATP?

                                                  I'll explain that next!
