For each pass through the citric acid cycle two carbons ente

For each pass through the citric acid cycle, two carbons enter an two carbons are lost during the cycle. In what form are they lost? How many NADH are produced? How many electrons will be produced during the electron transport chain for each of these NADH?

Solution

In Krebs cycle(citric acid cycle) , carbons are lost as two carboxyl groups CO2

Three NADH are produced in each pass

There are two electrons produced during electron transport chain for each of these NADH

For each pass through the citric acid cycle, two carbons enter an two carbons are lost during the cycle. In what form are they lost? How many NADH are produced?
