Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, 1 glucose molecule is responsible for the release of 4 CO2 molecules during Krebs cycle.
Detailed explanation-2: -Six carbon dioxide molecules are released by complete oxidation of one glucose molecules.
Detailed explanation-3: -Since two cycles are required thus, 2 CO2 molecules are released per cycle and in total 4 carbon dioxide molecules are released for one molecule of glucose in the TCA cycle.
Detailed explanation-4: -After the second turn through the Krebs cycle, the original glucose molecule has been broken down completely. All six of its carbon atoms have combined with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. The energy from its chemical bonds has been stored in a total of 16 energy-carrier molecules.
Detailed explanation-5: -Two molecules of CO2 are produced per turn of the Krebs cycle. This means 2 molecules of CO2 per acetate, or 4 molecules of CO2 per molecule of glucose.
