4. If a bacterium using aerobic respiration was 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

One molecule of glucose yields approximately 38 molecules of ATP in total. In which stage of cellular respiration are the 38 ATP molecules produced? Stage Glycolysis Acetyl CoA formation NADH yield FADH2 yield ATP Yield SLP or OP? Krebs cycle Oxidative Phosphorylation Total NADH = Total FADH2 = Total NADH x 3 = Total FADH2 x 2 = Total from OP = GRAND TOTAL ATP Yield = How many ATP are produced by Substrate level phosphorylation (SLP)? How many ATP are produced by Oxidative Phosphorylation (OP)? How many total ATPs are produced per molecule of glucose (Grand total)?
