Answer 1

The Krebs cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle or TCA cycle, processes acetyl-CoA derived from glucose (after glycolysis) to produce energy carriers. For each molecule of glucose that undergoes glycolysis, it is converted into two molecules of pyruvate, which are then converted into two molecules of acetyl-CoA that enter the Krebs cycle.

After one molecule of glucose completes the Krebs cycle (which occurs twice for each glucose molecule, since each glucose yields two acetyl-CoA), the following products are generated:

1. Carbon Dioxide (CO₂): 4 CO₂ molecules are produced (2 for each turn of the cycle).
2. NADH: 6 molecules of NADH are produced (3 for each turn).
3. FADH₂: 2 molecules of FADH₂ are produced (1 for each turn).
4. GTP (or ATP): 2 molecules of GTP (or ATP) are produced (1 for each turn).

So, the correct products of the Krebs cycle after one molecule of glucose goes through it are:

• 4 CO₂
• 6 NADH
• 2 FADH₂
• 2 GTP (or ATP)

Keep in mind that these products enter the electron transport chain to produce additional ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
