How many energy conversions occur when both acetyl-coa molecules go through the krebs cycle?

The correct answer will be 10 conversions.

Explanation:

Krebs cycle is a cyclic process of cellular respiration which converts the Actyl-CoA molecules to CO₂ and energy in the form of ATP with some energy stored in the NADH₂ and FADH₂. It provides electrons and protons required for the electron transport chain or ETC.

Krebs cycle starts with the conversion of acetyl-CoA where energy conversion takes place in the step as follows:

1. Iso-citrate to α-ketoglutarate -           form NADH₂

2. α-ketoglutarate to succinyl CoA-      form NADH₂

3. Succinyl CoA to succinate-                form GTP

4. Succinate to fumarate-                       form FADH₂

5. Malate to oxaloacetate-                     form NADH₂

1 cycle produces 1  FADH₂, 3 FADH₂ and 1 GTP = 5 conversions

Since cycle completes after two cycles ,therefore, 5X2=10 conversions.

Thus, 10 conversions are the correct answer.

picture a world where computers are building made-to-order personalized robotic arms and synthetic organs, drones are circulating above mars! due to the rapid growth of technology, the future has never been more unpredictable, and it presents a huge challenge in education: we are teaching students how to work in a future that we have never been unsure of. it is widely predicted that in eight years’ time, there will be more jobs in the fields of science, mathematics, technology and engineering than in any other discipline. and, as the technology continues to develop, it will soon become clear that addressing social problems will involve more innovative thinking, and analytical and technical knowledge than ever before. undeniably, there are no subjects that encourage innovative and creative thinking, deep thought, problem solving and independence more than the stem subjects. while it is widely commented on that there is a need to reimagine the ways stem subjects are taught in schools by embracing a more interactive and innovative approach to appeal to more students, it should come as no surprise that some of the most reputable educational organizations in the world are already implementing changes to embrace stem. harvard, for example, announced in 2014 that they were increasing their computer science faculty by over 50% and has since introduced computer science as a core subject for all freshmen. the urgency of supporting stem subjects at a young age is becoming more relevant than ever, as adopting a keen interest in the curricula needs to happen early. however, beyond the age issue is one of gender.
