The following represents overall net equation for the citric acid cycle.
acetyl CoA + 3NAD⁺ + FAD + GDP + P_i + 2H₂O

2CO₂ + CoA-S-H + 3NADH + 2H⁺ + FADH₂ + GTP

Question

The following represents overall net equation for the citric acid cycle. acetyl CoA + 3NAD⁺ + FAD + GDP + P_i + 2H₂O 2CO₂ + CoA-S-H + 3NADH + 2H⁺ + FADH₂ + GTP

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The overall net equation for the citric acid cycle is represented by the given equation, where acetyl CoA reacts with oxaloacetate to form citrate, which then undergoes a series of reactions to ultimately produce two molecules of CO2, one molecule of ATP (or GTP), and several reduced electron carriers (3 NADH and 1 FADH2). The equation correctly balances the reactants and products accounting for all the atoms involved in the cycle.
