what is the number of ATP obtained from one acetyl CoA in the citric acid cycle after all high-energy molecules pass through the electron transport chain?
Added by Aaron R.
Step 1
In the electron transport chain, each NADH molecule can generate approximately 2.5 ATP, and each FADH2 molecule can generate approximately 1.5 ATP. So, the total ATP yield from one acetyl CoA would be: (3 NADH x 2.5 ATP/NADH) + (1 FADH2 x 1.5 ATP/FADH2) + 1 GTP Show more…
