Correct answer: A. 3

  • A. 3
  • B. 2
  • C. 4
  • D. 1

Explanation

1 NADH molecule is produced at each of the following stages of a single Krebs cycle; therefore, 3 NADH molecules in total.1. Conversion of isocitrate to alpha-ketoglutarate2. Conversion of alpha-ketoglutarate to succinyl-CoA3. Conversion of malate to oxaloacetate
