The conversion of 1 mol of glucose to 6 mol of CO2 via glycolysis and the citric acid cycle also directly yields _____ mol of NADH, _____ mol of FADH2, and _____ mol of ATP (or GTP)?
Added by Jennifer V.
Step 1
During this process, 2 mol of NADH and 4 mol of ATP are produced (2 mol of ATP are consumed, so the net production is 2 mol of ATP). Each mol of pyruvate is then converted to Acetyl-CoA, producing 1 mol of NADH per pyruvate. Since there are 2 mol of pyruvate, Show more…

What is the production of ATP both directly and through electron transport/oxidative phosphorylation when: (i) one mole of glucose is converted to two moles of pyruvate. (ii) one mole of pyruvate is converted to one mole of acetyl CoA. (iii) one mole of glucose is converted to two moles of acetyl CoA. (iv) one mole of acetyl CoA is metabolized to CO2 and H2O via the citric acid cycle. (v) one mole of glucose is completely metabolized to CO2 and H2O via glycolysis, the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction, and the citric acid cycle.

The ATP yield for a molecule depends on where it enters glycolysis or the citric acid cycle. The yield can be compared to the net yield of glucose, 30 ATP. Determine the net ATP yield of each starting molecule when fully oxidized to CO2. Assume that glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation are fully active.
