What occurs during glycolysis? how much atp is made during the process

1 answer:

8 0

During glycolysis, one glucose molecule is broken down to produce two pyruvate, two NADH molecules, and a net gain of two ATP. Although a total of four ATP are produced during the process, you have to use two ATP to help with the catabolic breakdown during glycolysis. Thus, while a total of four ATP are produced during the process, there is only a net gain of two ATP.

8) Each time a molecule of glucose is completely oxidized via aerobic respiration, how many oxygen (O2) molecules are required?

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

C) 6

Explanation:

The balanced equation for aerobic cellular respiration is:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ ----> 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O + Energy (ATP)

For each glucose molecule that's oxidized, 6 oxygen molecules are used in order to produce ATP. Carbon dioxide and water are byproducts of aerobic respiration..
