Two-third fraction of the carbon dioxide molecules released is generated during the citric acid cycle.

Explanation:

Aerobic respiration results in energy production as well as releases the waste products of carbon dioxide plus water.

Pyruvate oxidation during aerobic respiration leads to the production of carbon dioxide and pyruvate is converted into a two-carbon molecule aligned with acetyl CoA.

This compound then proceed to the citric acid cycle, oxidize, and results in the production of two carbon dioxide molecules along with one GTP or an ATP, 3 NADH, and 1 FADH molecule.  

The citric acid cycle or the tricarboxylic cycle is a set of cyclic biochemical reactions taking place in aerobic organisms to oxidize the acetate (acetyl carbon molecules of the acetyl CoA) from proteins, carbohydrates, and fats into carbon dioxide and release energy.

a) First A – It is the baseline value or the value measured before treatment

b) First B – It is the treatment measurement

c) Second A  - It is the withdrawal of treatment  

d) Second B – It is the reintroduction of treatment  

The second A is known as the reversal phase in which the intervention is withdrawn to see if the target behavior returns to the baseline behaviour

Thus , there are two measurements involved one before the intervention and second after the intervention
