One turn of the citric acid cycle itself directly yields a small amount of ATP (or GTP), but when combined with the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation, it results in a total of approximately 10 ATP molecules. This includes ATP equivalents generated from NADH and FADH2 that are produced during the cycle and then used in the electron transport chain.
