Answer 1

Number of NADH, FADH₂, GTP molecules = 48, 16, 16

Explanation

When one citric acid cycle is completed, three molecules of NADH, one molecule of FADH₂ and one molecule of GTP is produced.

When 16 cycles are completed,

molecules of NADH = (3 molecules / one cycle) * (16 cycles)

molecules of NADH = 48 molecules

molecules of FADH₂ = (1 molecule / one cycle) * (16 cycles)

molecules of FADH₂ = 16 molecules

molecules of GTP = (1 molecule / one cycle) * (16 cycles)

molecules of GTP = 16 molecules
