Question

When 2-pyruvic acids forms two lactic acids by
anaerobic respiration then
(a) One ATP is lost (b) 3 ATPs lost
(c) 6 ATPs lost (d) None

Answer 1

Answer:

when 2 pyruvic acids forms two lactic acids by anaerobic respiration then

ans- c) 6 ATPs are lost.

Answer 2

When 2-pyruvic acids forms two lactic acids by an  anaerobic respiration then (c) 6 ATPs lost.

• If two pyruvic acid molecules are converted into two lactic acid, then the molecules of the two reduced coenzyme NADH molecules are also eaten.
• If it is assumed that each reduced coenzyme NADH molecule equals to three ATP molecules, then it can be inferred that six ATP molecules are consumed in the process.
