The yield from each pyruvate in the second stage of aerobic respiration includes A) 4 NADH. B) 1 FADH₂. C) 1 ATP. D) 3 CO₂. E) all of these.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the second stage of aerobic respiration (i.e. the Krebs cycle or citric acid cycle), each pyruvate yields 4 NADH, 1 FADH2, and 1 ATP, for a total of 6 NADH, 2 FADH2, and 2 ATP per glucose molecule. So, all of the answer choices listed are correct.
