  1. Net effect of the TCA cycle...

    The energy is first transferred to NAD+ through a highly charged hydrogen atom, and the result is shown as NADH + H+. FADH2 is formed on a simmilar way.

    3 moles of NADH and 1 mole of FADH2 generated during each round of the cycle feed into the oxidative phosphorylation pathway. Each mole of NADH leads to 3 moles of ATP and each mole of FADH2 leads to 2 moles of ATP. Therefore, for each mole of pyruvate which enters the TCA cycle, 12 moles of ATP can be generated.

    Notice from jeigh:
    Make sure to put quoted works in quote block and cite source.

    One of the energy-active products of the TCA cycle is allso the GTP.

    This is what i know about the net effect of the TCA cycle :D
