Question
In which of the following process 36 ATP molecules are produced by per hexose molecule
Glycolysis
Krebs' cycle
Direct oxidation pathway
None of the above
Solution
C.
Direct oxidation pathway
By pentose phosphate pathway or hexose monophosphate (HMP) Shunt or Warburg Dickens pathway or direct oxidation pathway one glucose is completely oxidised without glycolysis. In this process 12 NADPH, are formed witch are equivalent to 36 ATP molecules.
