How much ATP can be generated from glucose when the citric acid cycle is operating?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The net ATP production is 24 ATP.

Step by step solution

01

About Glucose

  • Glucose is a six-carbon monosaccharide sugar molecule.
  • It is a vital source of energy for animals, and it is produced by plants and algae.
  • In animals, glucose is stored as glycogen, while in plants, it is stored as starch.
02

Maximum amount of ATP that glucose can produce

NADH produces aroundATP per molecule, whereasproduces aboutATP per molecule.

To make computations easier, we'll use 3 ATP for NADH and 2 ATP for.

Citric acid cycle

6 NADH

2 ATP

18 ATP
4 ATP
2 ATP

Thus, the net ATP production is 24 ATP.
