Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How many FADH2 molecules are produced by 1 turn of the Krebs Cycle?
A
1
B
2
C
3
D
4
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Krebs cycle summarizes a circular series of reactions in the mitochondria to metabolize AcCoA to two molecules of CO2 with resultant generation of one molecule of GTP, three molecules of NADH, and one molecule of FADH2.

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: -Answer and Explanation: A total of 3 NADH and 1 FADH2 molecule are generated from 1 molecule of glucose by the end of the Krebs cycle.

Detailed explanation-4: -Products of the Citric Acid Cycle Each turn of the cycle forms three NADH molecules and one FADH2 molecule. These carriers will connect with the last portion of aerobic respiration to produce ATP molecules.

Detailed explanation-5: -Each turn of the cycle produces 1 GTP or ATP, 3 NADH molecules and 1 FADH2 molecule.
