Detailed explanation-1: -To summarize, for complete oxidation of a glucose molecule, Krebs cycle yields 4 CO2, 6NADH, 2 FADH2 and 2 ATPs. Each molecule of NADH can form 2-3 ATPs and each FADH2 gives 2 ATPs on oxidation in the electron transport chain.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Krebs cycle is the second phase in cellular respiration. It occurs in the mitochondria in the cell. The number of ATP molecules produced in the Krebs cycle is 2.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why is the Krebs cycle so important if it only produces to ATP molecules? It produces reducing agents for the electron transport chain.
Detailed explanation-4: -Overview of the Krebs or citric acid cycle, which is a series of reactions that takes in acetyl CoA and produces carbon dioxide, NADH, FADH2, and ATP or GTP.
Detailed explanation-5: -Krebs cycle produces the following: Two molecules of carbon dioxide are given off. One molecule of ATP is formed.
