How many ATP and NADH molecules are produced from each molecule of glucose in the citric acid cycle only?

In my textbook it says that 1 molecule of ATP and 3 molecules of NADH are made from 1 molecule of pyruvate, via the citric acid cycle. However, since the question is asking for 1 molecule of GLUCOSE, the answer would be 2 ATP and 6 NADH since the oxidation of glucose produces TWO molecules of pyruvate, the amount of ATP and NADH would have to be doubled.
I actually have this EXACT question on my exam... hmmm... do I know you by chance? o__O

How many Acetyl coenzyme A molecules are generated from one molecule of glucose?
2: Two molecules of acetyl CoA molecules are produced by one glucose molecule, since each full round of the citric acid cycle yields one, and it takes 2 full completions because glucose yields two pyruvates. (:
How many Krebs cycle occur per glucose?
twice
What cycle produces the most NADH?
Electron Transport Chain. It produces 32 while the citric acid cycle (your teacher might call it the Krebs Cycle) produces 2 and glycolysis produces 2 (all those numbers are per ONE GLUCOSE MOLECULE) Electron Transport Chain. It produces 32 while the citric acid cycle (your teacher might call it the Krebs Cycle) produces 2 and glycolysis produces 2 (all those numbers are per ONE GLUCOSE MOLECULE)
What produces the most ATP per molecule of glucose oxidized?
The maximum number of ATP per molecule of glucose is produced during the Kreb's Cycle of cellular respiration.
How many NADH molecules are produced during complete breakdown of one molecule of glucose?
This process is the Kreb's Cycle or the Citric Acid Cycle. The end products are 6 NADH, 2FADH2, 4CO2, AND 2ATP.
How many CO2 are produced during the transition reaction and the citric acid cycle per glucose molecule?
Two Co2 molecules are produced per citric acid cycle. Since the citric acid cycle occurs twice with every molecule of glucose metabolized, a total of 4 C02 molecules are produces for every glucose molecule

How many ATP are produced in kerbs citric system?
2 ATP per glucose molecule is produced in the Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle)
How many Krebs cycle occur per glucose?
twice
How many ATP molecules are produced from the kreb cycle?
directly, without using the electron transport chain there is one ATP per turn of the Krebs cycle, and two turns per glucose molecule.
What cycle produces the most NADH?
Electron Transport Chain. It produces 32 while the citric acid cycle (your teacher might call it the Krebs Cycle) produces 2 and glycolysis produces 2 (all those numbers are per ONE GLUCOSE MOLECULE) Electron Transport Chain. It produces 32 while the citric acid cycle (your teacher might call it the Krebs Cycle) produces 2 and glycolysis produces 2 (all those numbers are per ONE GLUCOSE MOLECULE)
What molecule is required for aerobic conditions?
The glucose molecule is required for aerobic conditions. Glucose is broken down into molecules that along with oxygen enter the citric acid cycle. This produces energy during aerobic conditions.
What produces the most ATP per molecule of glucose oxidized?
The maximum number of ATP per molecule of glucose is produced during the Kreb's Cycle of cellular respiration.
What molecule is produced in the citric acid cycle as a by product of glucose oxidation and is subsequently released into the bloodstream and carried to the lungs where it is removed from the body?
water
How many NADH molecules are produced during complete breakdown of one molecule of glucose?
This process is the Kreb's Cycle or the Citric Acid Cycle. The end products are 6 NADH, 2FADH2, 4CO2, AND 2ATP.
What is the total NADH produced in one turn of the citric acid cycle?
there are 6 Nadph2 produced when it turns twice in the kreb cycle because there are 3 NAdH and when you use the kreb cycle twice the equation would be 3 nadh + p= 3 nadph * 2 = 6 NADPH2 - sixth grader in jhs 157
How many molecules of ATP are produced during one circuit of the Krebs cycle?
1 This isn't even technically true. One GTP molecule is produced which produces one ATP molecule. The Krebs cycle produces tons of energy, but not in the form of ATP directly. The Krebs cycle (or TCA cycle) results in reducing potential molecules; NADH and FADH2 specifically. These molecules are shuttled through the electron transport chain to produce energy. 3 NADH molecules and 1 FADH molecule is produced for every turn of the Krebs cycle. One molecule of glucose will result in two turns of the Krebs cycle because two pyruvate molecules are the result of one glucose molecule (pyruvate if fed into the Krebs cycle after it is converted into acetyl-CoA). So, one glucose molecule = 6 NADH and 2 FADH molecules (and 2 GTP molecules) In the electron transport chain 1 NADH molecule = 3 ATP. 1 FADH2 molecule = 2 ATP. From here the math is pretty straight forward 6 NADH molecules = 18 ATP 2 FADH molecules = 4 ATP 2 GTP molecules = 2 ATP If you ever read something saying the number of ATP molecules produced from a glucose molecule is between 30-38 ATP do not be confused. This is simply the number for: glycolysis, TCA cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation (electron transport chain) added together. We only get about 30 ATP molecules out of it though because the process is not perfect. Source: Biomed degree.
