Question

A single molecule of glucose generates _________ molecules of acetyl CoA, which enters the Krebs cycle. *​

Answer 1

Answer:

Since glycolysis of one glucose molecule generates two acetyl CoA molecules, the reactions in the glycolytic pathway and citric acid cycle produce six CO2 molecules, 10 NADH molecules, and two FADH2 molecules per glucose molecule (Table 16-1).

Answer 2

A single molecule of glucose generates two molecules of acetyl CoA, which enters the Krebs cycle.

Explanation:

A single molecule of glucose generates two molecules of acetyl CoA, which enters the Krebs cycle.

• When glucose undergoes glycolysis Coenzyme A is acetylated to generate Acetyl- CoA.
• During glycolysis of a glucose molecule, three pyruvate molecules are produced which undergo oxidative decarboxylation to for 2 molecules of Acetyl-CoA.

• Acetyl- CoA is then used in Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle) where it is oxidized to carbon dioxide and water, and 11 molecules of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and one GTP is produced.
