Answer:

The answer is B- 12

Explanation:

The glycolysis of one glucose molecule produces two acetyl CoA molecules, the reactions in the glycolytic pathway and citric acid cycle produce six CO2 molecules, ten (10) NADH molecules, and two (2) FADH2 molecules per glucose molecule. Therefore the total number of NADH + FADH2 molecules produced is 12.

For each molecule of glucose that is metabolized by glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, 12 NADH + FADH2 molecules are produced (Option B).

What is cellular respiration?

Cellular respiration refers to the chemical reactions by which cells can produce energy in the form of ATP by using the energy from foods and oxygen.

  • Cellular respiration has there stages: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.

  • Glycolysis and the Krebs cycle produce NADH and FADH2 which enter into oxidative phosphorylation for ATP synthesis.

In conclusion, for each molecule of glucose that is metabolized by glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, 12 NADH + FADH2 molecules are produced (Option B).
