Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium

The aerobic respiration yields

A

8NADH₂, 2FADH₂, 2ATP

B

10NADH₂, 2FADH₂, 38ATP

C

12NADH₂, 30FADH₂, H₂O

D

10NADH₂, 2FADH₂, 2GTP, 2ATP

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

In aerobic respiration, GTP formation occurs through the conversion of Succinyl CoA to Succinic acid, producing 2 GTP. NADH formation occurs through the conversion of pyruvic acid to acetyl CoA and isocitric acid to oxalosuccinic acid, yielding 10 NADH₂ and 2 FADH₂.
