Ah, per turn of the Krebs cycle, we get 3 NADH, 1 FATP, 1 GTP, and 2 CO2. For one glucose, since it makes two pyruvate, that doubles to 6 NADH, 2 FADH2, 2 GTP, and 4 CO2. But in my lab, we're engineering yeast to squeeze out more succinate, so I'm always staring at that step and thinking, "What if we reroute this one?" It’s like trying to help my students find a smarter shortcut for their maths homework—the textbook answer is true, but the clever solution is what changes everything.
