Net atp by breaking down of one molecule of glycerol
Answers

Explanation:
Oxidation of each NADH could otherwise produce 3 ATPs, so the net ATP loss is 12 ATP per glucose molecule created. Synthesis of one glucose molecule from glycerol requires 2 Page 10 10 ATP and produces either 2 FADH2 or 2 cytosolic NADH (equivalent to 2-3 ATP each), for a net gain of 2-4 ATP

Hi mate
The complete breakdown of the single glycerol molecule in a triglyceride synthesizes a total of 19 ATP molecules. Glycerol also provides carbon skeletons for glucose synthesis.
