Nad Fad H+ Reduced Nad/Fad E Accepts Oxidises

Front differences between NAD/FAD
Back
NAD/FAD both accept H+ and e- pair from breakdown of glucose, but different in some ways; 
 - NAD involved in all respiro steps while FAD only in KC
 - NAD accepts 1 H+ while FAD accepts 2H+, reduced NAD oxidises at start of ETC (releasing H+ and e- pair) while reduced FAD oxidises at a later stage
 - reduced NAD forms 3 ATP molecules while FAD forms 2 ATP molecules
