Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How many molecules of NADH are produced during the Kreb Cycle?
A
2 molecules
B
4 molecules
C
6 molecules
D
8 molecules
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -How Many NADH are Produced In The Krebs Cycle? In one turn of the Krebs cycle, 3 molecules of NADH are produced. For complete oxidation of a glucose molecule, Krebs cycle yields 4 CO2, 6NADH, 2 FADH2 and 2 ATPs.

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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Krebs, or citric acid, cycle. Pyruvate, derived from glycolysis, is firstly converted into acetyl-CoA (2-C) which is subsequently condensed with oxaloacetate (4-C) to form the 6-C compound citrate.

Detailed explanation-4: -In glycolysis, two NADH and two ATP are produced, as are two pyruvate. The pyruvate are carried to the citric acid cycle, where they are converted to acetyl-CoA, and six NADH and one FADH2 are made.

Detailed explanation-5: -Steps of the Krebs Cycle This produces citric acid, which has six carbonatoms. This is why the Krebs cycle is also called the citric acid cycle. After citric acid forms, it goes through a series of reactions that release energy.
