Question

If fructose 1,6 bisphosphate is used as respiratory substrate and been oxidised completely, how many atp molecules are synthesised directly in this process

Answer 1

Answer:It should convert into glucose which yields 2 ATP molecules. Then this glucose enters into glycolysis and citric acid cycle which yields 38 ATP molecules. So, altogether 40 molecules of ATP are synthesised if fructose 1,6 diphosphate undergoes respiratory cycles.
