    2 ATP, 6 NADH, and 2 FADH2

    Explanation:

    Since each glucose molecule that enters glycolysis yield two pyruvate molecules, then the number of pyruvate that enters the citric acid cycle is doubled.

    Hence, the number of each ATP, NADH, and FADH2 molecules produced in the citric acid cycle is multiplied by 2.

    Thus, 2 ATP, 6 NADH, and 2 FADH2 will be produced in the citric acid cycle by one glucose molecule
