Per TCA with 3 NADH and 1 FADH2, generates how many ATP?: (A) 6, (B) 9, (C) 12, (D) 15
Answer is B. Ans. is 'b' i.e., 9One NADH produces 2.5 ATP and one FADH2 produces 1.5 ATP. Thus 3 NADH and 1 FADH2 will produce 9 ATP.There is production of ATP at substrate level also, Thus total 10 ATP molecules are produced per cycle.
