Verified step by step guidance

Understand that the Krebs Cycle, also known as the Citric Acid Cycle, is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy through the oxidation of acetate derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into carbon dioxide.

Recognize that during each turn of the Krebs Cycle, several key molecules are produced, including ATP (or GTP), NADH, and FADH2, which are crucial for cellular respiration.

Identify the specific steps in the Krebs Cycle where NADH is produced: NADH is generated during the conversion of isocitrate to alpha-ketoglutarate, alpha-ketoglutarate to succinyl-CoA, and malate to oxaloacetate.

Count the number of NADH molecules produced in these steps: Each of these three reactions produces one molecule of NADH, resulting in a total of three NADH molecules per cycle.

Conclude that for each complete turn of the Krebs Cycle, three molecules of NADH are generated, which are then used in the electron transport chain to produce ATP.
