What is the net gain of atp in glycolysis? |
|
Answer» Can you pls explain how net gain of atp is 2? Glycolysis is the first stage of the breakdown of glucose in the cell. During glycolysis 2 ATP molecules are used up and four ATP molecules are generated. In the entire process of glycolysis, two NADH₂ molecules are also generated. When these molecules undergo ETS they will form 3 ATP per NADH₂ which means 6 ATP. Therefore the total ATP that are forming are 10 and as 2 ATP is used up the net gain will be 8. In glycolysis, two molecules of ATP are consumed initially in converting glucose to fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate. Two triose phosphate molecules are formed from one glucose molecules. Four molecules of ATP are produced at substrate level phosphorylation. Therefore, net gain of ATP is\xa02ATP×2−2ATP=2. |
