In cell biology, which stage of cellular respiration produces the vast majority of NADH and electron carrier coenzymes?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Krebs cycle (Citric acid cycle)
- Step 1: For each turn, the Krebs cycle generates 3 NADH and 1 (6 NADH and 2 per glucose molecule). Answer: Krebs cycle (Citric acid cycle). Why not the others: Oxidative phosphorylation consumes these electron carriers to produce ATP.
