Explain Why is there a net gain of onlý two ATP
1 answer:
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.

Intrusive igneous rocks cool from magma slowly because they are buried beneath the surface, so they have large crystals.
Extrusive igneous rocks cool from lava rapidly because they form at the surface, so they have small crystals.
