Two ATP molecules are produced from one FADH2 going through the electron transport chain. For every NADH, three ATP molecules are produced.

What is the number of ATP produced from one glucose molecule during aerobic cellular respiration?

During aerobic cellular respiration, one glucose molecule produces a total of 36-38 molecules of ATP through glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation in the electron transport chain.


How many ATP molecules are produced from beta oxidation of arachidic acid?

20 ATP from 8 NADH 12 ATP from 12 FADH2 9 acetyl co-A --> 9 GTP, 67,5 ATP from 27 NADH, 13,5 ATP from 9 FADH2 minus 2 ATP to start beta-oxidation = 120 ATP


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.


How many copies of gene do we have where do they come from?

Most humans have two copies of each gene, one inherited from the mother and one from the father. These copies come from the process of sexual reproduction, where genetic material from both parents is combined to create a unique individual.


How many ATP molecules are produced for every pyruvic acid molecule that enters the Krebs' cycle?

The energy tally from one molecule of pyruvic acid is 4 NADH, 1 FADH₂ and 1 molecule of ATP.

Calculate the number of atps generateed from one saturated 16-carbon fatty acid assume that each nadh molecule generates 2.5 atps and that each fadh2 molecule generates 1.5 atps?

From one saturated 16-carbon fatty acid, beta-oxidation produces 7 NADH and 7 FADH2 molecules. Therefore, 7 NADH x 2.5 ATPs/NADH = 17.5 ATPs and 7 FADH2 x 1.5 ATPs/FADH2 = 10.5 ATPs, resulting in a total of 28 ATPs generated.


How the 38 atps are formed?

It gets produced form glucose aerobic metabolism that consists of 4 steps: 1.glycolisis = 2 ATPs +2 NADH 2.pyruvate oxidative decarboxilation = 1 NADH *2 (because we have 2 pyruvates from the glycolisis) 3. Krebs cycle = (3NADH + 1FADH + 1ATP) * 2 4.Cellular respiration cycle - process where all the NADH and FADH are converted to ATPs. Each NADH = 3ATP, but FADH=2ATP. Thus we get: 1. 8 ATPs 2. 6 ATPs (3*2) 3. 24 ATPs (12*2) --------------------- 38 ATPs
