Question

What is the net total of ATP produced by eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells

Answer 1

Answer:

In the eukaryotic ell, the aerobic respiration occurs in mitochondria as well as the cytoplasm. The Electron Transport Chain (ETC) that yields the maximum ATPs is located in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. So, the NADH made during the glycolysis in cytoplasm have to be transferred to the mitochondria using the shuttle system and for this, 2 ATPs are consumed. However, in the bacterial cell, since there is no mitochondria, the whole process of respiration occurs within the cytoplasm so no ATP is consumed in transporting across the organelle. Therefore, 38 ATPs are made form one glucose in bacteria while 36 are made in an eukaryotic cell.

Hence, the correct answer is '38'
