Most of the energy released in the citric acid cycle is used to produce ________. A)glucose B)acetyl-CoA C)NADH and FADH₂ D)carbon dioxide and water E)citric acid

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The majority of the energy released in the citric acid cycle is used to produce NADH and FADH2, which are high-energy molecules that participate in oxidative phosphorylation to produce ATP. Glucose is not produced in the citric acid cycle, acetyl-CoA is a product not a use, carbon dioxide and water are byproducts, and although citric acid is an intermediate in the cycle, it is not the end product.
