Question

Figure 7.1 -For each mole of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆)completely oxidized by cellular respiration,how many moles of CO₂ are released in the citric acid cycle (see Figure 7.1)? A)2 B)3 C)4 D)6 E)12

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the citric acid cycle, each acetyl-CoA produces 2 CO2 molecules. Since one glucose molecule produces 2 acetyl-CoA molecules, a total of 4 CO2 molecules are released per glucose molecule.
