Once they have been processed through the citric acid cycle, the acetyl-CoA molecules from a single glucose molecule produce:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

From a single glucose molecule, two molecules of acetyl-CoA are generated, which enter the citric acid cycle. For each acetyl-CoA molecule processed, the cycle produces 3 NADH, 1 FADH2, 1 ATP (or GTP), and 2 CO2. Therefore, for two acetyl-CoA molecules, this doubles to 6 NADH, 2 FADH2, 2 ATP (or GTP), and 4 CO2.
