why NADH and FADH2 are a type of energy currency

Solution

Energy used by the body for its many activities ultimately comes from the chemical energy in our food.

The chemical energy in our food is converted to reducing agents NADH and FADH2 .

These reducing agents are then used to make ATP.

ATP stores chemical energy ,so that it is available to the body in a readily accessible form.

The energy needed by the body is coming from NADH and FADH2, that why they are type of energy currency.
