In an intermediate reaction TCA cycle, succinyl Co-A is converted succinic acid and one GTP molecule is synthesised through substrate level

GTP formed in this reaction gives rise to ATP as follows $\mathrm{GTP}+\mathrm{ADP} \rightarrow \mathrm{GDP}+\mathrm{ATP}$

GTP formed in this reaction gives rise to ATP as follows $\mathrm{GTP}+\mathrm{ADP} \rightarrow \mathrm{GDP}+\mathrm{ATP}$
