Glycolysis produces a net gain of 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule.

Two ATP molecules are expended in the early stages of glycolysis, but 4 are later generated, so the net gain is 2 ATP.

This is a small number compared to the aerobic stage of cellular respiration, which probably produces about another 28 or 30 ATP molecules per glucose.
true... it gives out energy and oxygen

What stage of cellular respiration yield the most ATP?

Electron transport chain. During electron transport chain 34 ATP molecules are produced whereas glycolysis and citric acid cycle yield 4 ATPs (2 during glycolysis and 2 during citric acid cycle).


How many ATP molecules are required to start glycolysis?

36 ATP molecules can be produced by 1 molecule of glucose. These 36 ATP molecules will complete cellular respiration.


Where the energy of glucose ends up?

After glycolysis, there is no more glucose. The name glycolysis means "sugar splitting," and that's just what it does. It takes one glucose and splits it into two molecules of pyruvate, generating two ATPs as it goes. Following the short reaction when entering the mitochondria, the acetyl CoA (a form of the pyruvate) goes through the Krebs Cycle (or Citric Acid Cycle). Through a series of reactions, the energy is taken and incorporated into ADP to make ATP. Some of the energy will also go to NAD+ to form NADH (and some to FAD+ to form FADH2). These electron carriers then go to the Electron Transport Chain (ETC) to make the most ATPs in respiration through oxidative phosphorylation.


How many atps are released in respiration?

A net total of 36-38 ATPs are released during aerobic respiration, while only 2 ATPs are released during anaerobic respiration.


How many atps are made at the end of glycolysis?

A total of 4 ATP molecules are produced through substrate-level phosphorylation during glycolysis. However, there is a net gain of 2 ATP molecules because 2 ATP molecules are consumed in the earlier steps.

What is the net profit in ATPs of glycolysis?

The net production of ATP in glycolysis is 2 ATP molecules. This occurs through substrate-level phosphorylation during the conversion of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate, and from phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate.


Where are ATP molecules in glycolysis made?

Glycolisis takes place in cytoplasm.So ATPs are produced in cytoplasm.


What if the mitochondria no longer functioned?

Even if the mitochondria is gone, the cell still can make energy. However, the cell can only make 2 ATPs at a time by going through glycolysis, while the mitochondria can make 36 or sometimes 38 ATPs. Because the number can drastically drop, your energy level will fall sharply.


How many ATP are produced during glycolysis?

During glycolysis, there is a net gain of 2 ATP, that is to say that four ATP were actually produced, but it took two to get the whole thing started, so only two were really gained (kind of like a profit)


How much energy is needed to start the process of glycolysis?

Two molecules of ATP are needed to start the process of glycolysis. These ATP molecules are used to prime the glucose molecule for further breakdown and energy production.
