transfer chain inside the mitochondria, releasing usable forms of energy, the ATPs. The net reaction for the citric acid cycle can P + Pi + 2H2O 2CO2 + 3NADH + 3H+ + FADH2 + CoA- Acetyl CoA+3NAD+ +FAD + GD Part B What will be the total number of molecules of NADH FADH2, and GTP that are synthesized if the citric acid cycle repeats 7 times? Express your answers as integers separated by commas Hints Number of NADH, FADH2, GTP molecules Submit Give Up 11. Oxidation and Reduction of Electron Carri - Copy 1 pt 97% 10

Explanation / Answer

The citric acid cycle begins with acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate to form citrate. The reactions of the cycle also convert three equivalents of NAD+ into three equivalents of NADH, one equivalent of FAD into one equivalent of FADH2, and one equivalent of GDP and inorganic phosphate (Pi) into one equivalent of GTP.

For each cycle of citric acid, 3 NADH, 1 FADH2   and 1 GTP, molecules are released

If citric acid cycle repeats 7 times, 7 times of (3 NADH, 1 FADH2 and 1 GTP) molecules will produce.

Numbers of NADH, FADH2 and GTP molecules = 21, 7 and 7 respectively.
