The Krebs cycle forms many products. Which option lists the correct products of the Krebs cycle after 1 molecule of glucose goes through it?(1 point)

Responses

net 1 NADH, 1 ATP, 2 CO2, 1 FADH2
net 1 N A D H , 1 A T P , 2 C O sub 2 , 1 F A D H sub 2

net 4 NADH, 4 ATP, 8 CO2, 4 FADH2
net 4 N A D H , 4 A T P , 8 C O sub 2 , 4 F A D H sub 2

net 2 NAD+, 2 ATP, 4 CO2, 2 FADH
net 2 N A D plus , 2 A T P , 4 C O sub 2 , 2 F A D H

6 NADH, 2 ATP, 4 CO2, and 2 FADH2
6 N A D H , 2 A T P , 4 C O sub 2 , and 2 F A D H sub 2

1 answer

The correct products of the Krebs cycle (also known as the citric acid cycle) after one molecule of glucose has been fully oxidized (which accounts for two turns of the cycle, since one glucose molecule is broken down into two pyruvate molecules, each leading to one turn of the cycle) are:

  • 6 NADH
  • 2 ATP
  • 4 CO2
  • 2 FADH2

So, the correct option is:

6 NADH, 2 ATP, 4 CO2, and 2 FADH2
