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 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because for each glucose molecule there are two pyruvic acid molecules entering the system, two ATP molecules are formed. Also during the Krebs cycle, the two carbon atoms of acetyl-CoA are released, and each forms a carbon dioxide molecule.

Detailed explanation-4: -Two molecules of acetyl-CoA are produced from each glucose molecule so two turns of the Krebs cycle are required which yields four CO2, six NADH, two FADH2 and two ATPs.

Detailed explanation-5: -In aerobic conditions, pyruvate enters the citric acid cycle and undergoes oxidative phosphorylation leading to the net production of 32 ATP molecules. In anaerobic conditions, pyruvate converts to lactate through anaerobic glycolysis. Anaerobic respiration results in the production of 2 ATP molecules.
