(a)
Interpretation:
The product formed from NADH in the electron transport chain should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Aerobic respiration occurs in two steps;
- Glycolysis
- Citric acid cycle
In the presence of oxygen means aerobic respiration, this pyruvate enters in the Krebs cycle and extracts energy in the form of electrons transfer. Electrons are transferred from the pyruvate to the receptors like

Answer to Problem 56P
NADH produces two ATPs for every NADH2 molecule.
Explanation of Solution
Citric acid cycle is also known as tricarboxylic acid cycle or Krebs cycles. In this cycle all intermediates are carboxylate anions mainly which are formed from di or tricarboxylic acid during the reaction. It initiates with the reaction of acetyl CoA (a 2 C's substance) that reacts with a 4 C's substance to form a product of 6 C's. Later carbon atoms are removed in the form of carbon dioxide gas.
In this process, 2 H's are transferred to FAD and produces FADH2. This energy carrier remains attached to the enzyme and transfers the electrons to the electron transport chain. The electron transport chain is a series of four enzyme complexes and two coenzymes:
- Complex I to Complex IV
- Coenzymes -ubiquinone and Cytochrome c
