1 of 9
The hydrogen atoms produced in the Krebs cycle are a useful energy source, why?
The electrons they possess are a potential source of energy.
2 of 9
How do the hydrogen atoms produced in the Krebs cycle end up in the ETC?
They are carried by coenzymes NAD & FAD. This is the process by which the energy of the electrons within the hydrogen atoms is converted into a form that cells can use (ATP).
