Verified step by step guidance

Understand the citric acid (Krebs) cycle: It is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to release stored energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

Identify the main products of the citric acid cycle: The cycle produces several key molecules, including ATP, NADH, FADH2, and carbon dioxide (CO2).

Focus on NADH: During the cycle, NAD+ is reduced to NADH. This occurs in several steps where electrons are transferred to NAD+, forming NADH, which is a crucial electron carrier.

Differentiate between the options: Glucose is not a product of the citric acid cycle; it is a substrate for glycolysis. Pyruvate is the end product of glycolysis and the starting substrate for the citric acid cycle, not a product of it.

Conclude with the correct product: NADH is indeed a product of the citric acid cycle, as it is generated multiple times during the cycle and plays a vital role in the electron transport chain for ATP production.
