Chapter 18: Q. 18.91 (page 661)

How many ATP are produced when glucose is oxidized to pyruvate, compared to when glucose is oxidized to CO2and H2O? (18.4,18.5,18.6)

Short Answer

Expert verified

32ATP is produced when glucose is oxidized to pyruvate, compared to when glucose is oxidized toCO2andH2O.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information 

We need to find the ATP that is produced when glucose is oxidized to pyruvate, compared to when glucose is oxidized to CO2andH2O.

02

Simplify

The ATP produced in the oxidation of glucose to pyruvate yields only 7ATPunits. Presented below is the ATP yield of the oxidation of glucose to pyruvate.

Now, the complete oxidation of glucose to carbon dioxide32ATPis produced. When glucose enters glycolysis, 7ATP is produced. As it undergoes oxidation, the product of glycolysis is oxidized and decarboxylated to acetyl CoA yielding 5ATP. When acetyl CoA proceeds to the citric acid cycle, acetyl CoA is further complete oxidation of glucose to carbon dioxide.
