NADH and FADH2 then transfer protons and electrons to the electron transport chain to produce additional ATPs from oxidative phosphorylation.
During the process of aerobic respiration, coupled oxidation-reduction reactions and electron carriers are often part of an electron transport chain, a series of electron carriers that eventually transfers electrons from NADH and FADH2 to oxygen.
The diffusible electron carriers NADH and FADH2 carry hydrogen atoms (protons and electrons) from substrates in exergonic catabolic pathways such as glycolysis and the citric acid cycle to other electron carriers that are embedded in membranes.

  * FADH2 - (Biology): Definition
FADH2 is produced in the citric acid cycle.
In oxidative phosphorylation, one molecule of FADH2 yields approximately 1.5 ATP

 TCA Cycle and Oxidative Phosphorylation
a) The FAD and FADH2 are bound to Complex II in the inner mitochondrial membrane and are never free to the matrix.
That FADH2 was never free to the matrix, it resides in the inner mitochondrial membrane as part of Complex II.
-The e- from complex II are from FADH2 which was reduced during the Succinate dehydrogenase catylyzed reaction of the TCA cycle.

This chain is a series of four protein complexes that transport the electrons to oxygen and at the same time pump protons to create a proton gradient across the mitochondrial inner membrane.
We have started with the reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH2 and ended with ATP, yet the ATP was not made directly from the NADH or the FADH2.
The electrons in NADH and FADH2 are at a very high negative reduction potential.

 science.ca View question   (Site not responding. Last check: )
NADH is a two-electron donor, while FADH2 can donate its two electrons one at a time or it can donate both simultaneously.
FADH2 can form a hydroperoxide adduct, which in turn can do chemistry very similar to peracids commonly used in the laboratory for peroxidation and ester formation from ketones.
Finally, NADH is more reducing than FADH2, so often there is an electron-transfer chain, where two electrons from NADH (or its 3'-phosphorylated analog, NADPH) are used to reduce FAD to FADH2 and this, in turn, reduces a one-electron acceptor (such as Fe3+ in an iron-containing enzyme).

 NADH vs. FADH2
I have a question regarding why FADH2 is less effective than NADH to produce energy.
FADH2 transfers its electrons to cytochrome II (at a lower energy level than NADH).
FADH2 is around because it has roles in other areas like synthesis, so by being a little more multifunctional than NADH it sacrifices some in the electron transport role.

 BioCarta - Charting Pathways of Life
NADH and FADH2 transfer chemical energy from metabolic intermediates to the electron transport chain to create a different form of energy, a gradient of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
The energy of the proton gradient in turn drives synthesis of the high-energy phosphate bonds in ATP, the common energy currency of the cell used to drive a huge variety of reactions and processes. An acetyl-CoA molecule (2 carbons) enters the cycle when citrate synthase condenses it with oxaloacetate (4 carbons) to create citrate (6 carbons).
If the oxygen supply to a muscle cell or a yeast cell is low, NAD+ and FADH levels fall, the Krebs cycle cannot proceed forward, and the cell must resort to fermentation to continue making ATP. Some Krebs cycle enzymes require non-protein cofactors for activity, such as thiamine, vitamin B1.

Diese in ihren reduzierten Formen (NADH und FADH2) energiereichen Elektronenakzeptoren werden wieder regeneriert, wenn sie ihre Elektronen an die Atmungskette in der inneren Mitochondrienmembran weitergeben.
Die Übertragung der Elektronen vom NADH oder FADH2 zum Sauerstoff geschieht in mehreren Stufen über diese Elektronentransporter, wobei zusätzlich durch Protonenpumpen in der mitochondrialen Matrix ein Membranpotential (Protonen-motorische Kraft) aufgebaut wird.
Die treibende Kraft der oxidativen Phosphorylierung ist das durch den Elektronenfluß in der Atmungskette geschaffene Membranpotential der inneren Mitochondrienmembran und das Elektronenübertragungspotential des NADH oder FADH2.

In the 2nd phase, the FADH2 gives the H electrons to coenzime Q. 2 H+'s are released.
The coenzime Q with the H's gives the H electrons to cytochrom B. An ATP is built.

They must also understand that in the conversion of a six carbon fat, two ATP's are used to break down the molecule into three acetates which then feed into the Krebs cycle.
In addition to the NADH and FADH2 produced by the Krebs cycle, 2 NADH and 2 FADH2 are produced.
Since 3 Ac CoA groups are made from each 6 carbon lipid, 2 molecules of FADH2 sill be formed.

FADH2 gibt die 2 Elektronen an Flavoproeine und nicht an NADH+H+-Dehydrogenase, so haben wir einen Schritt weniger also weniger Protonen werden nach außen gepompt und so statt 3 ATP nur 2 ATP werden gebildest.
