If a bacterium using aerobic respiration were to degrade one small protein molecule into 12 molecules of malic acid, how many ATP would that cell make? Malic acid is an intermediate in the Krebs cycle and has been highlighted in the pathway on the following page. Assume there is no other carbon source and no acetyl-CoA. In your answer, total up all the NADH and FADH2 (if any) and all the ATP produced by Substrate Level Phosphorylation (SLP) and Oxidative Phosphorylation (OP): NADH FADH2 OP ATP SLP ATP Total ATP
