Question

How much ATP can be made from glucose?
In glycolysis, ___ mole(s) of ATP are produced for every mole of glucose that enters the pathway. However,___ mole(s) are consumed during this process before any further ATP is made.
As a result, the conversion of one mole of glucose into ___ mole(s) pyruvate only yields a net gain of____ mole(s) of ATP.
While this amount may seem like a lot of work for so little gain, it is important to remember that glycolysis produces ____ mole(s) of NADH from each glucose, as well. This is notable because the reducing power of each NADH molecule can be harnessed by the electron transport chain to make ___ATP via oxidative phosphorylation.
Additionally, each mole of pyruvate that is generated from glycolysis will provide____ mole(s) of NADH when it is converted into Acetyl-CoA, prior to entry into the TCA cycle. The subsequent oxidative reactions combine to produce another ____ NADH per Acetyl-CoA.
The TCA cycle also produces a single FADH2 which can also be funneled into the electron transport chain to provide enough reductive potential to account for____ additional ATP. The final contribution to consider is the production of ___ molecule(s) of GTP per Acetyl-CoA that can be directly converted into ATP.
Thus, glycolysis combines with the TCA cycle and the electron transport chain to produce a net gain of ___ ATP per glucose.

Explanation / Answer

In Glycolysis-- 4 ATP s are produced.2 moles are consumed

2 moles of pyruate yields a net gain of 2 moles of ATP

2 moles of NADH..and each NADH= 2.5-3 ATP

1 mole of NADH during conversion of pyruvate to acetyl coa

1 NADH

2 ATP

1 GTP

Net ATP is 36 (glycolysis--2 ATP +2 NADH, Acetylcoa Formation--1 NADH, Krebb Cycle-6 NADH, 2 FADH2, 2 ATP)( 1 NADH=3 ATP and 1 FADH@=2.5 ATP)
