vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The answer is B- 12

Explanation:

The glycolysis of one glucose molecule produces two acetyl CoA molecules, the reactions in the glycolytic pathway and citric acid cycle produce six CO2 molecules, ten (10) NADH molecules, and two (2) FADH2 molecules per glucose molecule. Therefore the total number of NADH + FADH2 molecules produced is 12.
