Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The number of ATP molecules produced out of Krebs Cycle is:
A
2
B
3
C
4
D
0
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This combines with another molecule of acetyl CoA resulting at the beginning of a new cycle. Thus, one acetyl CoA forms one ATP molecule. Hence, the two will form 2 ATP molecules in one cycle of the Krebs cycle.

Detailed explanation-2: -In anaerobic conditions, pyruvate converts to lactate through anaerobic glycolysis. Anaerobic respiration results in the production of 2 ATP molecules.[5] Glucose is a hexose sugar, meaning it is a monosaccharide with six carbon atoms and six oxygen atoms.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Krebs cycle starts with acetyl-CoA, whereas pyruvic acid is the end product of glycolysis. When one molecule of pyruvic acid is converted to acetyl coA there is the synthesis of one molecule of reduced coenzyme NADH2, which yields 3 molecules of ATP during oxidation by mitochondrial electron transport system.
