  1. A 8
  2. B 10
  3. C 12
  4. D 14
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 12

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In aerobic respiration complete oxidation of one glucose molecule yields \(10 NADH _2\) and \(2 FADH _2\) molecules ( \(2 NADH _2\) in glycolysis, 2 \(NADH _2\) in connecting link reaction, \(6 NADH _2\) in Krebs cycle and \(2 FADH _2\) in Krebs cycle)
