How many ATP's and NADH's are made for each molecule of glucose to breakdown?

3 ATP per NADH and 2 ATP per FADH2 through oxidative phosphyrolation in mitochondria


How many glucose moleculeswere broken down if 2NADH molecules were produced?

If 2 NADH molecules were produced in glycolysis, it means that 1 glucose molecule was broken down. Each glucose molecule yields 2 NADH molecules during glycolysis.


How many total NAD and FAD are reduced in the cellular respiration when your starting molecule are pyruvate?

During cellular respiration, one molecule of pyruvate is converted into one molecule of acetyl-CoA before entering the Krebs cycle. This conversion reduces one molecule of NAD to NADH. In the Krebs cycle, each acetyl-CoA generates three NADH and one FADH2. Therefore, from one pyruvate, a total of four NADH and one FADH2 are produced.


What is the function of the NADH and FADH?

They are used in the production of ATP, the 'energy currency' of the cell. FADH2 and NADH have the very important role of being electron carriers for the electron transport chain. Both are used at key points in glycolysis and/or the Kreb's cycle. FADH2 : Carries electrons in the form of hydrogen atoms (1 proton and 1 electron) with 0 net charge. With 2 hydrogens FAD may use these electrons one at a time or 2 at a time, depending on which ever process it is in. NADH : Carries it's electrons in the form of hydrides (1 proton and 2 electrons) with -1 net charge. Since these electrons are in the hydride form they both must be used at the same time, there isn't an option to use 1 OR 2 only 2 electrons.


What is NADH 4?

NADH is a coenzyme form of vitamin B3 that plays a key role in cellular energy production. It acts as a carrier of electrons in the electron transport chain, helping to generate ATP, the energy currency of the cell. Its reduced form, NADH, donates electrons to the chain to drive the production of ATP.

How many how many electrons are in 02?

There are 16 electrons in an O2 molecule. Each oxygen atom contributes 8 electrons, totaling 16 electrons in the molecule.


How many ATP molecules does each NADH molecule yield?

In glycolysis of cellular respiration, NADH produces 2ATP because one ATP is used to transport a molecule of NADH into the mitochondria and continue with aerobic respiration. However, in pyruvate decarboxylation and the Krebs cycle, each NADH yields 3ATPs. FADH2 yields 2 ATPs.

How many electrons are in an oxygen molecule?

There are 16 electrons in an oxygen molecule as each oxygen atom has 8 electrons.


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

How many NAD molecules are needed for the breakdown of each glucose molecule?

Two NAD+ molecules are needed for the breakdown of each glucose molecule during glycolysis. NAD+ is reduced to NADH during certain reactions in glycolysis, allowing it to carry electrons to the electron transport chain for further energy production.
