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 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

net 4 NADH, 4 ATP, 8 CO2, 4 FADH2

The Krebs cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle or the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, processes one molecule of glucose (which generates two acetyl-CoA molecules) and results in the following products:

  • 6 NADH
  • 2 ATP (or GTP depending on the cell type)
  • 4 CO2
  • 2 FADH2

Therefore, the correct option for the products of the Krebs cycle after 1 molecule of glucose goes through it is:

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