In Kreb's cycle formation of

Options

A. 34 ATP takes place
B. 38 ATP takes place
C. 15 ATP from each acetyl Co–A takes place
D. 12 ATP from each acetyl Co–A takes place (24 ATP)

Answer

D

Explanation

In Krebs’s cycle acetyl COA enters a cyclic pathway in mitochondrial matrix for the oxidation of carbohydrates and results in the generation of energy in the form of ATP .
Citric acid cycle
`6NADH_2 = 18` molecules of ATP
`2FADH_2 = 4` molecules of ATP
2GTP = 2 molecules of ATP
The total net gain of ATP = 38ATP
