What's the importance of krebs's cycle?
Correct answer: C. Production of ATP molecules through oxidative phosphorylation
- A. Production of amino acids
- B. Production of vitamins
- C. Production of ATP molecules through oxidative phosphorylation
- D. Production of pyruvic acid
Explanation
During steps 3, 4, and 8 of Krebs' cycle, 3 molecules of NADH + H+ are produced by oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate, alpha-ketoglutarate, and malate, respectively. These NADH + H+ molecules are converted into ATP molecules by oxidative phosphorylation. Hence this option is correct.
