NADH is/are produced.
-carbon molecule combines with a 4-carbon molecule in the
first step of the cycle.
If this cellular process starts with glucose, the CAC turns times.
-carbon molecule is converted into a 5-carbon molecule by
the removal of a COz.
ATP is/are produced.
FADH, is/are produced.
NAD is/are produced.
CO2 is/are produced.

Answer 1

Here is the appropriate number of products for each statement based on one turn of the citric acid cycle (CAC):

1. NADH is produced: 3
2. A 6-carbon molecule combines with a 4-carbon molecule in the first step of the cycle: 2
3. If this cellular process starts with glucose, the CAC turns 2 times.
4. A 5-carbon molecule is converted into a 4-carbon molecule by the removal of CO2: 1
5. ATP is produced: 1
6. FADH2 is produced: 1
7. NAD is produced: 0 (NADH is produced, not NAD)
8. CO2 is produced: 2

To summarize:

• 3 NADH
• 2 (first part)
• 2 turns (if starting from glucose)
• 1 (from 6 carbon to 5 carbon)
• 1 ATP
• 1 FADH2
• 0 NAD
• 2 CO2
