Question

What happens to pyruvic acid in the Krebs cycle?

Answer 1

Because for each glucose molecule there are two pyruvic acid molecules entering the system, two ATP molecules are formed. Also during the Krebs cycle, the two carbon atoms of acetyl-CoA are released, and each forms a carbon dioxide molecule. ... These six CO2 molecules are given off as waste gas in the Krebs cycle.

Answer 2

❀ $\large{ \underline\textbf{Answer - }}$






The end products of the Krebs cycle for every two molecules of pyruvic acid include 2 ATP molecules, 10 NADHmolecules and two FADH2 molecules as well as six CO2 molecules in the form of waste gas.
