Berkeley Review Details

In Berkeley Review it uses the statement, "Consequently, if we utilize the malate-aspartate shuttle, the 2 NADHs from glycosis will give us 6 ATPs while the 8 NADHs from the Krebs Cycle will give us 24 ATPs." Are they making the assumption that the Krebs Cycle and the malate aspartate shuttle are both in the Krebs Cycle. Otherwise, wouldn't the Krebs Cycle only give 18 ATP for the 6 NADH produced (1 NADH = 3 ATP; 1 FADH2 = 2 ATP), while the other 6 ATP comes from the 2 NADH produced in the... Berkeley Review Details
