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.
Citric Acid cycle Electron Transport Chain
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!
