The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Cycle**: The Krebs cycle is also known as the citric acid cycle. It is a crucial part of cellular respiration. 2. **Location of the Cycle**: In eukaryotic cells, the Krebs cycle occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria. This is where the enzymes necessary for the cycle are located. 3. **Products of One Turn**: For each turn of the Krebs cycle, several key products are generated: - **Carbon Dioxide**: The cycle produces 2 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2). - **NADH**: It generates 3 molecules of NADH, which are important for carrying electrons to the electron transport chain. - **FADH2**: The cycle also produces 1 molecule of FADH2, another electron carrier. - **ATP or GTP**: Finally, one molecule of ATP (or GTP, depending on the cell type) is produced. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the Krebs cycle produces a total of: - 2 CO2 - 3 NADH - 1 FADH2 - 1 ATP (or GTP) 5. **Correct Answer**: The correct answer to the question "Krebs cycle produces" is ATP (or GTP).
