Here's why:
* Glycolysis, the first stage, produces only 2 NADH molecules per glucose molecule.
* The Krebs cycle, the second stage, produces 6 NADH molecules per glucose molecule (3 per turn of the cycle, and the cycle occurs twice per glucose).
* Electron transport chain, the final stage, does not produce NADH but utilizes it to generate ATP.
Therefore, the Krebs cycle is the most prolific producer of NADH in cellular respiration.
