Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of acetyl CoA in the citric acid cycle: Acetyl CoA is the starting molecule that enters the citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, which is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy.

Identify the main products of one turn of the citric acid cycle: For each acetyl CoA molecule that enters the cycle, the main products are 3 NADH, 1 FADH2, and 1 GTP (or ATP, depending on the cell type).

Recall the function of NADH and FADH2: These molecules are electron carriers that store energy used to produce ATP in the electron transport chain.

Consider the role of GTP: GTP is a high-energy molecule similar to ATP and can be readily converted to ATP in the cell, providing energy for cellular processes.

Match the products with the given options: Compare the known products of the citric acid cycle with the options provided to determine the correct answer.
