Question

Give the balance sheet of ATP formed in aerobic respiration.

Answer 1

ATP molecules =38...........

Answer 2

Hello dear,


● Balance sheet of ATP in aerobic respiration -
1) Glycolysis -
Direct ATP produced => 2 ATP
ATP produced via NADH => 3 ATP
Total ATP produced => 5 ATP

2) Conversion of pyruvate to Acetyl Co.A -
ATP produced by NADH => 5 ATP

3) Krebs cycle -
ATP produced at 1 site => 2 ATP
ATP produced by NADH => 15 ATP
ATP produced by FADH2 => 3 ATP
Total ATP produced => 20 ATP

# Total ATP production -
Total = 5 + 5 + 20 = 30 ATP

Hence, a total of 30 ATP are produced from 1 molecule of glucose.


Hope this helps you. Thanks for asking..
