Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A total of 10 NADH2 and 2 FADH2 molecules are formed in aerobic respiration.
Detailed explanation-2: -For example, the breakdown of glucose by glycolysis and the citric acid cycle yields a total of four molecules of ATP, ten molecules of NADH, and two molecules of FADH2 (see Chapter 2).
Detailed explanation-3: -The process of glycolysis, conversion of pyruvate and citric acid cycle produces 4 ATP, 10 NADH, and 2 FADH2 per molecule of glucose.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the oxidative decarboxylation and Krebs cycle, one molecule of pyruvate produces four molecules of NADH, one molecule of FADH2, and one molecule of ATP.
