Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, 1 glucose molecule is responsible for the release of 4 CO2 molecules during Krebs cycle.
Detailed explanation-2: -The answer is 12 NADH molecules. The pyruvate molecule will be converted to Acetyl-CoA by the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct option is ‘four’.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
