Question

How much carbon dioxide is made in Krebs cycle?

Answer 1

4 molecules of carbon dioxide, there are 2 for every pyruvate

Answer 2

For each acetyl-CoA entering the cycle, two carbon dioxide molecules are formed. Two acetyl-CoA molecules enter the cycle, and each has two carbon atoms, so four carbon dioxide molecules will form

Step-by-step explanation:

The Krebs cycle itself actually begins when acetyl-CoA combines with a four-carbon molecule called OAA (oxaloacetate) (see Figure above). This produces citric acid, which has six carbon atoms. This is why the Krebs cycle is also called the citric acid cycle.
