    molecule of acetyl CoA that enter the Krebs' cycle?
    A 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 38 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    12 ATP molecules can be derived from each molecule of acetyl CoA that enters the Krebs' cycle. During the Krebs' cycle (also known as the citric acid cycle or the TCA cycle), acetyl CoA undergoes a series of reactions that lead to the production of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation
