Solution

The correct option is A 10
From 1 molecule of acetyl CoA, 3 molecules of NADH and 1 molecule of FADH $_{2}$ is generated and 1 molecule of ATP is also generated through substrate level phosphorylation.

1 Acetyl CoA = 3 NADH + 1 FADH $_{2}$ + 1 ATP
= 3×2.5 ATP + 1×1.5 ATP + 1 ATP
= 7.5 ATP + 1.5 ATP + 1 ATP
= 10 ATP

Hence, the number of equivalent ATPs generated in ETC from 1 molecule of acetyl CoA is 10 ATPs.
