How many NADH are produced in the Krebs cycle?

Posted March 30, 2023


Answer

3 NADH molecules are produced in one turn of the Krebs cycle. Krebs cycle is the second phase of aerobic respiration. 2 carbon molecules and 1 FADH2 molecule are also produced along with the 3 NADH molecules in one Krebs cycle.
