The citric acid cycles doesn't really metabolize glucose. That would be the glycolysis.

What metabolic pathway generates 36 ATP from a single glucose molecule?
Glucose metabolism
What organelle is used to break down glucose?
Glucose is broken down during cellular respiration to produce a form of energy the cell can use.The first stage, glycolysis, occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. The other phases occur in the mitochondria.
How many ATP molecules can the cell produce from a single molecule of glucose through the glycolysis?
2
Does cyclic electron flow in the chloroplast produce ATP glucose and NADPH?
9 ATP and 6 NADPH overall. This energy is supplied by the light reactions from photosystem II and photosystem I. 6 ATP are reduced to 6 ADP in stage 1( fixation). The 6 NADPH are reduced to form 6 NADP+ in stage 2(reduction). The final 3 ATP are used in stage 3(regeneration of acceptor).
Four molecules of glucose would give a net yield of?
In general terms we can say that for every molecule of glucose 38 molecules of ATP are formed. Here is how it works: The 12 electron pairs involved in glucose oxidation are not transferred directly to O2. Rather, they are transferred to the coenzymes NAD+ and FAD to form 10 NADH + 2 FADH2 in the reactions catalyzed by the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, pyruvate dehydrogenase, and the citric acid cycle enzymes isocitrate dehydrogenase, a-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, and the malate dehydrogenase. The electrons then pass into the electron transport chain where, through reoxidation of NADH and FADH2, they participate in the sequential oxidation-reduction of per 10 redox centers before reducing O2 to H2O. In this process, protons are expelled from the mitochondrion. The free energy stored in the resulting pH gradient drives the synthesis of ATP form ADP and Pi through oxidative phosphorylation. Reoxidation of each NADH results in the synthesis of 3 ATPs, and reoxidation of FADH2 yields 2 ATPs for a total of 38 ATPs for each glucose completely oxidized to CO2 and H2O (including the 2 ATPs made in glycolysis and the 2 ATPs made in the citric acid cycle).The stoichiometric analysis can be expressed as:C6H12O6 + 38ADP + 38Pi + 6O2 - 6CO2 + 44H2O + 38ATPMoreover, the net gain of a single molecule of glucose can be analyzed as follows:Glucolysis produces directly 2 NADH, 4 ATPs, and 2 ATPs are consumed, giving a yield of 8 ATPs.Pyruvate oxydation produces 2 NADH to yield 6 ATPs.Acetyl-CoA oxydation (citric acid cycle) produces 6 NADH to yield 18 ATPs, 2 FADH2 to yield 4 ATPs, 2 ATPs or 2 GTPs formed directly, within the citric acid cycle, to yield 2 ATPs.Therefore, the total yield per molecule of glucose is 38.Finally, we have to consider that the final yield of ATP from glucose can be 36 instead of 38 because the number depends upon on which shuttle system is used to transfer reducing equivalents (2 NADH formed in cytosol during glycolisis) into the mitochondrial matrix.
Why is glucose your bodies single most important source of energy?
Glucose is very important source. This is because, your brain can use glucose only as a source of energy. Rest of the body can manage without the glucose. Fortunately you get much more glucose from your food than required by your body. Glucose being the primary product of photosynthesis.
Does glucose have single or double bonds?
Glucose has single bonds between its carbon atoms.
What is a single glucose called?
A single glucose molecule is called monosaccharide.
How many glucose monomers are there in a single starch molecule?
A single starch molecule contents few thousands glucose monomers in single molecule.
Is glucose a monomer?
Yes. You are right. Glucose is a monomer. Because it is a single molecule.
What do you make when 2 single sugars are joined together?
When two single sugars are joined together, they form a disaccharide. Examples include sucrose (glucose + fructose), lactose (glucose + galactose), and maltose (glucose + glucose).
During a single turn of the citric acid cycle what is generated?
During a single turn of the citric acid cycle, one molecule of ATP, three molecules of NADH, one molecule of FADH2, and two molecules of CO2 are generated.
What metabolic pathway generates 36 ATP from a single glucose molecule?
Glucose metabolism
Glucose is considered a monomer because?
Because it is a single hexagonal ring structure.
What is difference between citric acid mono and citric acid anhydrus?
Citric acid monohydrate contains one molecule of water while citric acid anhydrous does not. Citric acid monohydrate is less concentrated compared to citric acid anhydrous. The choice between the two may depend on the specific application due to differences in solubility and reactivity.
How many hydrogen are in a single glucose molecule?
The formula for glucose is C6H12O6, so 12 hydrogen.
Starch is digested into many single units of glucose molecules so glucose is an example of a what?
Glucose is a monomer; monomers of carbohydrates are called monosaccharides.
