What are final totals of molecules produced in the Kreb’s Cyclefor two complete turns?
A
1 ATP, 3 NADH, 1 FADH2
B
2 ATP, 10 NADH, 2 FADH2
C
2 ATP, 6 NADH, 2 FADH2
D
1 ATP, 5 NADH, 1 FADH2
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Two molecules of acetyl-CoA are produced from each glucose molecule so two turns of the Krebs cycle are required which yields four CO2, six NADH, two FADH2 and two ATPs.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the Krebs cycle, two ATP, six NADH +H+, and two FADH2 were produced. A net of four ATPs was produced from glycolysis through the Krebs cycle. More ATP will be produced from reduced coenzymes in the mitochondria during the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-3: -4 ATP (including 2 from glycolysis)

Detailed explanation-4: -All told, the Krebs cycle forms (per two molecules of pyruvic acid) two ATP molecules, ten NADH molecules, and two FADH2 molecules.

Detailed explanation-5: -Results of the Krebs Cycle 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.
