How much ATP is generated for each acetyl CoA during stages [3] and [4] of catabolism?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For each acetyl CoA molecule entering the citric acid cycle (stage [3]), 10 molecules of ATP are generated when accounting for all NADH and FADH2 produced and subsequently used in the electron transport chain (stage [4]). This includes direct ATP (or GTP) production in the cycle and the ATP generated from NADH and FADH2 through oxidative phosphorylation.
