THE KREBS CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Output of Krebs?
A
all are correct
B
Ill
C
NADH
D
So
E
ATP
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The net energy output for one glucose molecule from glycolysis through the Krebs cycle is: 4 ATP, 10 NADH + H+, and 2 FADH2.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. Each glucose molecule produces two molecules of acetyl CoA, enough for two cycles.

Detailed explanation-3: -At the end of the Krebs cycle, the final product is oxaloacetic acid. This is identical to the oxaloacetic acid that begins the cycle. Now the molecule is ready to accept another acetyl-CoA molecule to begin another turn of the cycle.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Krebs cycle involves converting this acetyl CoA into carbon dioxide. During the steps of the cycle, two molecules of CO2 are released, in addition to 3 more molecules of NADH, one of FADH2, and one of GTP.
