In which stage of respiration are four molecules of CO2 produced?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a Glycolysis
  2. b Acetyl Co-A
  3. c Krebs cycle
  4. d Electron transport system
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: c Krebs cycle

The Krebs cycle gives 4 molecules of CO2 from one glucose.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a Glycolysis: Glycolysis makes no CO2; it makes pyruvic acid.
  • b Acetyl Co-A: The acetyl Co-A stage releases 2 CO2, not 4.
  • d Electron transport system: The electron transport system releases no CO2.
