Respiratory balance sheet explain |
| Answer» THE RESPIRATORY BALANCE SHEET\tThe net gain of ATP for every glucose molecule oxidised can be calculated based on the following assumptions:\tThere is a sequential, orderly pathway functioning, with one substrate forming the next and with glycolysis, TCA cycle and ETS pathway following one after another.\tThe NADH synthesised in glycolysis is transferred into the mitochondria and undergoes oxidative phosphorylation.\tNone of the intermediates in the pathway are utilised to synthesise any other compound.\tOnly glucose is being respired.\tThere can be a net gain of 36 ATP molecules during aerobic respiration of one molecule of glucose. | |
