Overall ATP Yield Cellular Respiration

Question 1

1) Glucose undergoes glycology(input) and the end product of glycolysis is pyruvic acid

2) pyruvic acid is the input of the conversion step and the end product is acetyl Coenzyme A (CoA)

3) Acetyl Coenzyme A CoA is the input of the Kreb cycle and the end product of the Kreb cycle is Citric Acid.

4) Citric Acid is reduced and oxidized and used in the Electron Transport System to produce ATP. The final electronic sceptor of the electron transport system is oxygen.

We will end up with 36 ATP from one molecule of glucose.
