Explain Why is there a net gain of onlý two ATP

Biology
1 answer:
NeTakaya3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

<em><u>While 4 molecules of ATP are produced in total, 2 were used to convert glucose to the reactive fructose-1,6-bisphosphate</u></em>

<em></em>

<em>Thus, 4 ATP- 2ATP= 2ATP</em>

Explanation:

In the cytoplasm, cellular respiration starts, where glucose is broken down for energy production. in the presence of oxygen, energy is produced through aerobic respiration, while in an oxygen-deprived environment, anaerobic respiration can be carried out.

<em>Glucose is a relatively stable molecule, </em>thus in order for the pyruvate-producing reaction to occur, the <em>molecule undergoes phosphorylation </em>through the addition of high energy phosphate groups to drive the reaction forward.

Pyruvate is generated through glycolysis in the cytoplasm-it is oxidized to form acetyl CoA in aeroboc respration also used in fermentation (anaerobic respiration) as an electron acceptor.

how did aristototles's inability to detect parallax lead him to propose a geocentric model of the solar system
Arada [10]
He reasoned that since parallax could not be observed for celestial objects near the sun, then the earth was stationary. This erroneous assumption was because at the time he had no way of knowing that celestial objects were so far away that their parallax angles were too small to detect.He reasoned that since parallax could not be observed for celestial objects near the sun, then the earth was stationary.
