How many carbons from 1 glucose molecule enter 1 round of the Krebs cycle?
9424884
How many ATP and NADH molecules are produced from each molecule of glucose in the citric acid cycle only?
In my textbook it says that 1 molecule of ATP and 3 molecules of NADH are made from 1 molecule of pyruvate, via the citric acid cycle. However, since the question is asking for 1 molecule of GLUCOSE, the answer would be 2 ATP and 6 NADH since the oxidation of glucose produces TWO molecules of pyruvate, the amount of ATP and NADH would have to be doubled. I actually have this EXACT question on my exam... hmmm... do I know you by chance? o__O
Where happen the first step of cellular respiration?
Glycolysis, where 1 glucose molecule (C6H12O6) splits into 2 pyruvate (C3H6O3) and produce 2 ATP.
What does one pyruvate produce after the Krebs cycle?
1 atp
How many FADH molecules does the Krebs cycle produce during cellular respiration?
From glycolysis two pyruvates are produced per molecule of glucose. Pyruvate is converted to acetyl CoA which enters the Kreb's cycle. Therefore, one molecule of glucose eventually creates 2 turns of the Krebs cycle. The cycle produces 1 ATP, 3 NADH, and 1 FADH2 per turn. So for each molecules of glucose you will have 2 FADH2.
How many carbons from 1 glucose molecule enter 1 round of the Krebs cycle?
9424884
What are the products of acetyl CoA formation from a molecule of pyruvate?
You gain 1 NADH and acetyl CoA during the conversion of 1 pyruvate to acetyl CoA.
How many acetate groups are produced from one glucose during cellular respiration?
Each glucose molecule is converted to two molecules of pyruvate through glycolysis. Each molecule of pyruvate can then be converted to 1 acetyl CoA for a total of 2 acetly groups from 1 glucose
What does the prefix of the hydrocarbon molecule for example hex of hexane tell you about the molecule?
The prefix tells you how many carbons are in the principal chain of the molecule. the prefixes for 1-10, in order, are:meth, eth, prop, but (pronounced like butte), penta, hexa. hepta, octa, nona, deca.

How many atoms make up 1 molecular of vinegar?
Vinegar is acetic acid or CH3COOH and there are totally 8 atoms (2 carbons, 2 oxygens and 4 hydrogens) in one molecule of vinegar.
The breakdown of pyruvate in the Krebs cycle result in the release of?
NO. You release 2 CO2 from each turn on the kreb cycle. You have to go around the cycle twice in order to decarboxylate 1 glucose molecule (you go around twice because you have 2 pyruvate molecules in one glucose, meaning one full turn of the kreb cycle per pyruvate molecule)
How many carbon atoms in ethanol?
Ethanol has a chemical formula C2H5OH. Definitely, 2 carbons.
What are the different ways in which glucose is oxidised to provide energy?
The first step is breaking down of glucose as a six carbon molecule into a three carbon molecule is called pyruvate may be converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide .this process take place in yeast during fermentation
How many pyruvate molecules are produced per glucose molecule during glycolysis?
Glucose contains six carbon atoms, whereas pyruvate only contains three, so it is possible to derive two pyruvate molecules (3+3 carbon atoms) from one glucose molecule (=6 carbon atoms). During the early stages of glycolysis, the glucose is converted into Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. This molecule also has six carbon atoms, and is split by an enzyme called 'fructose biphosphate aldolase' into two separate molecules containing three carbon atoms: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. It is the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate that is later converted into pyruvate, accounting for the first pyruvate molecules from glucose. However, the other 3-carbon molecule, dihydroxyacetone phosphate, is kept in equilibium with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate by an enzyme known as 'triose phosphate isomerase', so that this is eventually converted into pyruvate as well. The result being two pyruvate molecules per glucose molecule.
What are the prefixes indicating the number of carbons in an organic molecule from 1-10?
These prefixes are:meth, eth, prop, but, pent, hex, hept, oct, non, dec.
How many atoms are in the compound c6h12po6?
C6H12PO6 has: 6 carbons (C), 12 hydrogens(H), 1 phosphorus(P) and 6 oxygens(O). Add the numbers and you will get the total number of atoms in this molecule; a total of 25.
