Final answer:

The glycolysis process begins with glucose and produces pyruvate, ATP, and NADH, while the Krebs cycle further breaks down pyruvate, resulting in more ATP, NADH, and FADH2. All outputs are doubled in the case of one glucose molecule.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chart of Inputs and Products of Glycolysis and Krebs Cycle

The process of glycolysis begins with glucose and results in the production of pyruvate, ATP, and NADH. During the Krebs cycle, or citric acid cycle, pyruvate is further broken down and more ATP, NADH, and FADH2 are produced. Here is the summary of inputs and products:

  • Glycolysis Inputs: Glucose, 2 ATP
  • Glycolysis Products: 2 Pyruvate, 4 ATP (net gain of 2 ATP), 2 NADH
  • Krebs cycle Inputs per Pyruvate: Acetyl CoA
  • Krebs cycle Products per Turn: 1 ATP, 3 NADH, 1 FADH2

Since each glucose molecule produces two pyruvate molecules, the outputs of the Krebs cycle need to be multiplied by two for the complete breakdown of one glucose molecule.
