Detailed explanation-1: -Step 6 is the first step in which NAD+ is reduced to form NADH. Two NADH molecules are formed for every one glucose molecule.
Detailed explanation-2: -Upon entering the mitochondrial matrix, a multi-enzyme complex converts pyruvate into acetyl CoA. In the process, carbon dioxide is released and one molecule of NADH is formed.
Detailed explanation-3: -Upon entering the mitochondrial matrix, a multienzyme complex converts pyruvate into acetyl CoA. In the process, carbon dioxide is released, and one molecule of NADH is formed.
Detailed explanation-4: -The answer is 12 NADH molecules. Each glucose molecule will proceed or enter the glycolysis to produce 2 pyruvate molecules. The pyruvate molecule will be converted to Acetyl-CoA by the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.
Detailed explanation-5: -During glycolysis, glucose ultimately breaks down into pyruvate and energy; a total of 2 ATP is derived in the process (Glucose + 2 NAD+ + 2 ADP + 2 Pi–> 2 Pyruvate + 2 NADH + 2 H+ + 2 ATP + 2 H2O).
