Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
The citric acid cycle must turn twice for each glucose molecule that begins cellular respiration because one glucose molecule is split into two molecules of pyruvate during glycolysis, and each pyruvate molecule is converted into acetyl-CoA that enters the citric acid cycle.
