The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the statements about the Citric Acid Cycle, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement 1: The generation of ATP is done at two steps.** - In the Citric Acid Cycle, ATP is generated primarily during one specific step: when succinyl CoA is converted to succinate. This process produces one molecule of ATP (or GTP, depending on the organism). Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. 2. **Statement 2: NAD is reduced to NADH at two steps.** - In the Citric Acid Cycle, NAD is reduced to NADH at three different steps: - First, when isocitrate is converted to alpha-ketoglutarate. - Second, when alpha-ketoglutarate is converted to succinyl CoA. - Third, when malate is converted to oxaloacetate. - Since NAD is reduced at three steps, this statement is also **incorrect**. 3. **Statement 3: FAD is reduced to FADH2 at one step.** - In the Citric Acid Cycle, FAD is reduced to FADH2 during the conversion of succinate to fumarate. This is the only step where this reduction occurs. Therefore, this statement is **correct**. ### Conclusion: Based on the analysis: - Statement 1 is incorrect. - Statement 2 is incorrect. - Statement 3 is correct. Thus, the only correct statement is **Statement 3**. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **3 only**. ---
