Answer:
The correct answer would be 14.
The 3-phosphoglycerate enters the metabolism at glycolysis level.
It produces one NADH when converted into acetyl CoA.
One acetyl CoA enters the Krebs cycle and produces 3 NADH and 1 FADH₂.
Thus, a total of 4 NADH and 1 FADH₂ enters the ETS.
One NADH produces 3 ATP and one FADH₂ produces 2 ATP.
Thus, the total of 14 ATP would be produced through ETS when only one 3-phosphoglycerate enters the aerobic respiration.
