Q. Single turn of citric acid cycle yields :

Q. Single turn of citric acid cycle yields :

(a) 2FADH₂, 2NADH₂, 2GTP

(b) 1FADH₂, 2NADH₂, 1GTP

(c) 1FADH₂, 3NADH₂, 1GTP

(d) 1FADH₂, 1NADH₂, 2GTP

Solution :

Correct option : C The citric acid cycle is a series of chemical reactions in the aerobic condition generates chemical energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA into carbon dioxide. Each turn of the cycle forms one GTP as well as three NADH₂ molecules and one FADH2 molecule, which will be used in further steps of cellular respiration to produce ATP for the cell. Hence, option C is correct.
