FADH2 in the Electron Transport Chain?

... my head wrapped around Cellular Respiration (with many thanks to Khan Academy!). In the Electron Transport Chain, it's my understanding that NADH is oxidised, losing its electrons to the reduction of O to H20. In doing so, it changes to a lower energy state and the excess energy is used to ...

ETC - purpose of having different dehydrogenases?

Not really loss of electrons, but inability to recycle NADH, which would block cellular metabolism.

ETC - purpose of having different dehydrogenases?

Hey guys, There's something I'm a bit confused by. I've been reading about how E. coli can have different NADH dehydrogenase complexes (more specifically, NDH-1 and NDH-2). One major difference between the two is the fact that NDH-1 is a coupling site (so pumps out protons while ...
