Which of the following produces nadh ATP and two pyruvate molecules electron transport chaincalvin cycleglyclosesiskreb cycle?

Glycolysis


What happens to each products of the Krebs cycle?

Each turn of TCA cycle produces 2 molecules of carbon dioxide, three molecules of NADH and two molecules of FADH2, and one molecule of ATP at the substrate level. The net result of one TCA cycle is the production of 12 ATP.


Is NADH an electron acceptor?

Not exactly. It is true that NAD is formed during electron transport chain, however, it's not a direct product. NADH is an electron carrier that dumps its electron to the electron transport chain, which oxidizes it into NAD. NAD then goes back to become reduced by glycolysis or citric acid cycle.


How many molecules of ATP are produced during one circuit of the Krebs cycle?

1 This isn't even technically true. One GTP molecule is produced which produces one ATP molecule. The Krebs cycle produces tons of energy, but not in the form of ATP directly. The Krebs cycle (or TCA cycle) results in reducing potential molecules; NADH and FADH2 specifically. These molecules are shuttled through the electron transport chain to produce energy. 3 NADH molecules and 1 FADH molecule is produced for every turn of the Krebs cycle. One molecule of glucose will result in two turns of the Krebs cycle because two pyruvate molecules are the result of one glucose molecule (pyruvate if fed into the Krebs cycle after it is converted into acetyl-CoA). So, one glucose molecule = 6 NADH and 2 FADH molecules (and 2 GTP molecules) In the electron transport chain 1 NADH molecule = 3 ATP. 1 FADH2 molecule = 2 ATP. From here the math is pretty straight forward 6 NADH molecules = 18 ATP 2 FADH molecules = 4 ATP 2 GTP molecules = 2 ATP If you ever read something saying the number of ATP molecules produced from a glucose molecule is between 30-38 ATP do not be confused. This is simply the number for: glycolysis, TCA cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation (electron transport chain) added together. We only get about 30 ATP molecules out of it though because the process is not perfect. Source: Biomed degree.


How many ATP molecules per glucose molecules does a cell gain from each of the three stages of cellular respiration?

2 in stage 1 (Glycolysis) 2 in stage 2 (Krebs Cycle or Citric Acid Cycle) 32 in stage 3 (Electron Transport Chain or ETC) 36 ATP molecules total
