Most of the energy released in citric acid cycle reactions is conserved in ________.
A)GTP
B)ATP
C)NADH and QH²
D)ADP

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The majority of the energy released in the citric acid cycle reactions is conserved in NADH and QH². These high-energy molecules are then used to produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation in the electron transport chain. While a small amount of ATP is also directly produced in the citric acid cycle through substrate-level phosphorylation, it is not the main source of energy conservation. GTP and ADP are also produced in the cycle, but they are not the main energy carriers.
