Indicate the amount of ATP produced when each of the following reactions occurs.
-Acetyl CoA → 2CO₂

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The conversion of Acetyl CoA to 2CO₂ occurs in the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle), which produces 3 NADH, 1 FADH₂, and 1 GTP (or ATP) per Acetyl CoA. The NADH and FADH₂ are used in the electron transport chain to produce ATP, resulting in a total of approximately 12 ATP per Acetyl CoA.
