Solution
The correct option is D X-NADH2; Y-FADH2 ; Z- GTP In Kreb’s cycle, during the conversion of alpha-ketoglutaric acid to succinyl CoA involves the release of a molecule of NADH2, the conversion of succinyl CoA to succinate involves the release of one molecule of GTP, and the conversion of succinic acid to fumaric acid involves the release of a molecule of FADH2. So, the correct answer is X-NADH2; Y-FADH2 ; Z- GTP
