Question

The number of ATP molecules produced by ETS from Krebs intermediates after a single turn of the cycle is completed is:

Answer 1

Kerbs cycle:

1. The Kerbs cycle is a the primary source of energy for cells and vital part of aerobic respiration.
2. For every mole of Acetyl CoA, the Kreb's cycle produces 3 moles of NADH, 1 mole of FADH, and 1 mole of ATP.
3. Whereas ETS produces 12 ATP molecules from Krebs intermediates after a single cycle turn.

Final answer

The number of ATP molecules which get produced by ETS after one turn of the cycle is completed is 12.
