How many water molecules are formed in the electron transport chain?

During oxidative phosphorylation, which is part of the electron transport chain, a total of 6 water molecules are formed when oxygen is reduced to form water at the end of the chain.


The Krebs cycle and electron transport chain can produce a total of ATP?

Aerobic respiration (using oxygen) is a high energy yielding process. During the process of aerobic respiration as many as 38 molecules of ATP are produced for every molecule of glucose that is utilized. Thus aerobic respiration process breaks down a single glucose molecule to yield 38 units of the energy storing ATP molecules.


When glucose is used as the energy source the largest amount of ATP is produced?

When glucose is used as the energy source the largest amount of ATP is produced during complete oxidative respiration by utilizing the efficiencies of the electron transport chain. Other metabolic pathways like fermentation capture only a small fraction of potential energy compared to oxidative respiration.


How many ATP total are produced from one glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen?

In the presence of oxygen, one glucose molecule can produce a total of 36-38 molecules of ATP through cellular respiration. This process involves glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain.


What is the four main steps of cellular respiration?

The four main steps of cellular respiration are glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle), and oxidative phosphorylation (electron transport chain and chemiosmosis). These steps occur in different parts of the cell and result in the production of ATP for cellular energy.


How many pairs of electrons are removed in the TCA cycle?

In the TCA cycle, a total of 8 pairs of electrons are removed. These electrons are picked up by electron carriers NAD+ and FAD, which then transport them to the electron transport chain for ATP production.

What process releases the most ATP?

The process that releases the most ATP is cellular respiration, specifically aerobic respiration, which occurs in the presence of oxygen. During aerobic respiration, the complete breakdown of glucose in the mitochondria generates a total of 36-38 molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose.


Which process produces the most quantity of ATP per molecule of glucose?

Krebs's cycle or citric acid cycle or T.C.A. ( Tricarboxylic acid. ) cycle part of 'biological oxidation' gives maximum energy. As in this part of biological oxidation that oxygen is used to get 6 carbon bi oxide and 6 water molecules. About 70 % of the ATP molecules are produced in Krebs's cycle.


How many ATP are produced from acetyl Co A that goes through the electron transport system?

Each acetyl CoA that goes through the citric acid cycle produces 2 Carbon Dioxide, 3 Hydrogen ions, 3 NADH, and 1 FADH2. The chemical components of this reaction are then able to create 1 ATP via substrate level phosphorlyation in the Electron Transport Chain. More importantly however, each NADH makes 3 ATP and each NADH2 makes 2, so combined, the 3 NADH and 1 FADH2 produce 11 ATP, or 12 when combined with the one from substrate-level. Since there are 2 acetyl-CoA produced per glucose during glycolysis, a total of 24 ATP is made during the electron transport system, as opposed to 36 or 38 for all of cellular respiration. However, all of these numbers are just theoretical. Slight imperfections and inefficiencies prevent most cells from ever actually achieving 100% of they yield as described. As a result, the total effective yield is closer to 28-30 for the overall process and only 9 or 10 ATP are actually produced per acetyl-CoA in the electron transport system.
