Question

How many ATPs are generated when pyruvate is formed?

Answer 1

Answer:

32 ATP

Glycolysis occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic states. In aerobic conditions, pyruvate enters the citric acid cycle and undergoes oxidative phosphorylation leading to the net production of 32 ATP molecules. In anaerobic conditions, pyruvate converts to lactate through anaerobic glycolysis.

Answer 2

32 ATP molecules are generated when the pyruvate is formed.

In aerobic conditions

Pyruvate enters the citric acid cycle and undergoes oxidative phosphorylation

leading to the net production of 32 ATP molecules.

In anaerobic conditions

Pyruvate converts to locate through anaerobic glycolysis.

Anaerobic respiration results in the production of 2ATP molecules.

Aerobic & Anaerobic environments. An aerobic environment is characterized by the presence of free oxygen (O2)while , anaerobic environmental lacks free oxygen but may contain atomic oxygen bound in compounds such as nitrate ,nitrite, and sulphites.
