A single turn of the citric acid cycle yields
Options
- A2 FADH 2 , 2 NADH 2 , 2 GTP
- B1 FADH 2 , 2 NADH 2 , 1 GTP
- C1 FADH 2 , 3 NADH 2 , 1 GTP
- D1 FADH 2 , 4 NADH 2 , 1 GTP
Correct answer
C. 1 FADH 2 , 3 NADH 2 , 1 GTP
Step-by-step solution
Citric acid cycle or Kreb's cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix and comprises eight cyclic steps. During its single turn, it produces CO 2 , one of the end products of respiration, one molecule of GTP, three NADH 2 and one FADH 2 as a reduced coenzyme are formed.
