How many rounds of Kreb's cycle are required to produce 6 FADH 2 molecules?
Options
- A3
- B6
- C12
- D1
Correct answer
B. 6
Step-by-step solution
In Kreb's cycle during oxidation of Acetyl CoA, four dehydrogenation reaction occurs in which FAD is hydrogen acceptor only in one reaction. Thus only one FADH2 is produced in one turn of Kreb's cycle. For production of FADH2 six turns of Kreb's cycle is requitred.
