(1)Fill in the blanks.After complete oxidation of glucose molecules.number of ATP molecules are formed. |
|
Answer» During conversion of glucose to 2 molecules of pyruuvic acid, a total of 8 molecules of ATP are generatedtwo molecules of pyruvic acid when converted into two molecules of active acetate, yield a total of 6 molecules of ATP.Removal of 2′C’ as CO2 [i.e. one molecule of active acetate] via Kreb’s cycle yiels 12 molecules of ATP. Thus 2 active acetate molecules [one each from one pyruvate molecule] yields 24 molecules of ATP Total = 8+6+24 = 38 molecules of ATP are gained when a glucose molecule is completely oxidized to CO2 and H2O. |
