B. All are correct except 2
Step-by-step solution
The acetyl CoA then enters a cyclic pathway, Tricarboxylic acid cycle, more commonly called as Kreb's cycle after the scientist Hans Krebs who first elucidated it. The TCA cycle starts with the conservation of acetyl group with oxaloacetic acid and water to yield citric acid .The reaction is catalysed by the enzyme citrate synthase and a molecule of CoA is released.,Oxidation of one molecule of NADH gives rise to 3 molecules of ATP, while that of one molecule of FADH2 produces 2 molecules of ATP.
