Question

Explain why we cannot account for the exact amount of energy generated by one molecule of glucose sent through glycolysis, the TCA cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Answer 1

Date Page INADH the There are 3 masons we cannot state an enait number of ATP nolulis genviated by the dueak dobon mone meteule of glucose 1 Phosphorylation and resten Vrenstions sia net discretly supled to each othere, so the natis o number of NADH melecule to the number ATP molecules is not a whole number nesults in 10 mt being turns ponted out amos innur mitochondrial membrane, but the exact number of. * that must meentur mitochondrial dynthase to Egenvrate 1 ATP has long been dubetesl . A single moluub of NADH generales enough peaton mature your synthesis 2.5 ATP. The citure and Veurle also supplies eletuon to Election transfert chain via FADH₂, but since its electron enter nature in the chain each molecule in this clution rowin is suspensible fou transpout of andes enough tt for the synthesis of 1.5 AGP. These nubers also take into accoant the slight entergestie cost of moving the ATP formed in the mitochondrian out into the cytosol, nehre it will be used 2) The ATP sjeld, varius, slightly depending on the from the cuptosol into the mitochondrion. Thinol vaut able that reduces the yield ATP is the use of the proton - motive force of generated by sedon Meactions of suspiration to درا of work.
