what are the major difference between oxidation in the citric cycle that uses nad+ as an electron acceptor and the one that uses fad?

The Citric Acid Cycle Oxidizes Two-Carbon Units
Acetyl CoA is the fuel for the citric acid cycle. This important molecule is formed from the breakdown of glycogen (the storage form of glucose), fats, and many amino acids. fats contain strings of reduced two-carbon units that are first oxidized to acetyl CoA and then completely oxidized to CO2 by the citric acid cycle.

Hope it's help you...❣️✌️
Oxygen acts as the terminal electron acceptor in the electron transport chain (ETC). At the end of the electron transport chain, the electron and a proton are passed to an oxygen molecule to produce water. The citric acid cycle depends on oxygen in an indirect sense.
