Vedclass · Answer

(C) The $TCA$ cycle (Tricarboxylic Acid cycle) begins with the condensation of acetyl-$CoA$ $(2C)$ with oxaloacetic acid $(4C)$ to form citric acid $(6C)$.When one molecule of citric acid undergoes the $TCA$ cycle,it proceeds through a series of enzymatic reactions.During these steps,$3$ molecules of $NAD^+$ are reduced to $3 \, NADH + 3H^+$,and $1$ molecule of $FAD$ is reduced to $1 \, FADH_2$.Additionally,$1$ molecule of $GTP$ (or $ATP$) is produced via substrate-level phosphorylation.Therefore,the correct count for one molecule of citric acid entering the cycle is $3 \, NADH$ and $1 \, FADH_2$.
