Q

What happens to NADH and FADH2 during oxidative phosphorylation?

A

They are oxidized and their electrons are transferred through the etc
NADH and FADH2 creates a gradient and uses ATP synthase to add phosphorus, ADP to ATP

Q

What happens in the transition step?

A

One carbon is removed from pyruvic acid
Carbon attaches to form acetate and then attaches with coenzyme A which makes acetly co a
