THE KREBS CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In Krebs cycle, if 12 molecules of NADH are produced over a period of time, how many FADH2 are produced?
A
2
B
24
C
4
D
12
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Products and Functions of the Krebs Cycle For one cycle, two molecules of carbon, three molecules of NADH, one molecule of FADH2 and one molecule of ATP or GTP are produced.

Detailed explanation-2: -One kreb’s cycle gives 2FADH2 molecules, it takes 3 cycles to produce 6FADH2.

Detailed explanation-3: -Krebs Cycle The end product of Glycolysis, pyruvate, is transported into the mitochondrion and converted to a compound called acetyl coenzyme A or acetyl CoA. This conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA also results in the transfer of electrons to NAD+, storing energy in the form of NADH.

Detailed explanation-4: -Results of the Krebs Cycle These molecules are: 4 ATP (including 2 from glycolysis) 10 NADH (including 2 from glycolysis)
