During glycolysis, the conversion of one mole of 3PGAld to C3H4O3 yield 2 moles of ATP. But the oxidation of glucose to C3H4O3 produces a total of 4 moles of ATP. Where do the remaining 2 moles of ATP come from?

Question

During glycolysis, the conversion of one mole of 3PGAld to C3H4O3 yield 2 moles of ATP. But the oxidation of glucose to C3H4O3 produces a total of 4 moles of ATP. Where do the remaining 2 moles of ATP come from? (A) One mole of glucose gives 2 moles of 3PGAId (B) Glycolysis produces 2NADH (C) Fermentation of C3H4O3 produces 2ATP more (D) 2ATP are used in the conversion of glucose to 3PGAld

Correct answer is (a) One mole of glucose gives 2 moles of 3PGAId

Q. During glycolysis, the conversion of one mole of $3 PG A l d$ to $C_{3} H_{4} O_{3}$ yield $2$ moles of $A TP$ . But the oxidation of glucose to $C_{3} H_{4} O_{3}$ produces a total of $4$ moles of $A TP$ . Where do the remaining $2$ moles of $A TP$ come from?

One mole of glucose gives $2$ moles of $3 PG A I d$

Glycolysis produces $2 N A DH$

Fermentation of $C_{3} H_{4} O_{3}$ produces $2 A TP$ more

$2 A TP$ are used in the conversion of glucose to $3 PG A l d$

Correct answer is (a) One mole of glucose gives $2$ moles of $3 PG A I d$

Q. During glycolysis, the conversion of one mole of 3PGAld to C3​H4​O3​ yield 2 moles of ATP. But the oxidation of glucose to C3​H4​O3​ produces a total of 4 moles of ATP. Where do the remaining 2 moles of ATP come from?

One mole of glucose gives 2 moles of 3PGAId

Glycolysis produces 2NADH

Fermentation of C3​H4​O3​ produces 2ATP more

2ATP are used in the conversion of glucose to 3PGAld
