Each turn produces 1 ATP. Glucose is broken down into 2 pyruvic acid molecules and each one is changed into an Acetyl Co A molecule. Each Acetyl Co A enters the cycle and produces 1 ATP. So the Krebs cycle produces a total of 2 ATP's per glucose; one at each turn.

Um Actually they are different NADH's. In Respiration, It's NADH. In Photosynthesis, it's NADPH. See why they produce different amount of ATP? Because they are not the same NADH's
