Two molecules of carbon dioxide are given of
One molecule of ATP is formed
Three molecules of NAD+ are combined with hydrogen

One molecule of FAD combines with hydrogen (FAD
FADH2)
Because two acetyl-CoA molecules are produced from each
glucose molecule, two cycles are required per glucose
molecule. Therefore, at the end of two cycles, the products
are: two ATP, six NADH2, two FADH2 two QH2 (ubiquinol)
and four CO2.
Respiration:
1. It takes place in all the living cells of plant.
2. This catabolic process continues throughout the day and
night.
