Answer:

3 NADH molecules are made from each molecule of acetyl CoA through the Krebs Cycle.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, 1 NADH is produced from each carbon lost from the 6-carbon citric acid (2 NADH total). Lastly, 1 additional NADH is made from the transformation of malate into oxaloacetic acid (acceptor molecule for acetyl CoA).
