Question
Out of 38 molecules of ATP produced upon aerobic respiration of glucose, the break up if ATP production in glycolysis (P), pyruvate to acetyl Co- A formation (Q) and Krebs' cycle (R) is as follows
P= 2, Q= 6, R= 30
P= 8, Q= 6,R= 24
P= 8, Q= 10, R= 2
P= 2, Q= 12, R= 24
Solution
B.
P= 8, Q= 6,R= 24
Out of the 38 molecules of ATP produced upon aerobic respiration of glucose. The breakup of ATP during complete aerobic respiration is as follows:
In eukaryotic cells, 2 molecules of ATP are sepnt for transporting 2 molecules of NADH formed during glycolysis to the mitochondria. Hence, net gain is 36 molecules of ATP.
