Solution
The correct option is B 14
From 1 molecule of phosphoenol pyruvate, 1 molecule of pyruvate is formed via glycolysis which undergoes further conversion to form Acetyl CoA leading to the release of 1 NADH molecule.
This Acetyle CoA enters TCA (Kerb's cycle) cycle to form 3 molecules of NADH and 1 molecule of FADH2. These molecules enter ETC (electron transport chain) to form ATP molecules. 4 NADH will give 4 X 3= 12 ATP while 1 FADH2 will give 1 x 2= 2 ATP. So, a total of 14 ATP will be formed.
