Question

Description: Cellular respiration is the process that allows your body to harvest a huge amount of energy from a single glucose. In fact, it's so efficient that you get 30 ATP for every 1 glucose molecule you eat. This exercise is going to break down exactly where each ATP comes from.
Instructions: For this presentation, your goal is to walk the audience through every step that is involved in generating an ATP, NADH or FADH2, include the names, structures and enzyme for each step. From there, look up the conversion rates from NADH and FADH2 to ATP and calculate exactly how 30 ATP are formed. Also include any step which uses an ATP (this will count against the total ATP formed).
What to submit: Please record yourself explaining the structures and enzymes as well as ATP calculation.
Description: For the video response portion of this assignment, your job will be to calculate the amount of ATP produced anaerobically using the logic of the person’s presentation you watched. Discuss whether or not you agree with this.

Answer 1

Answer:

The complete glycolysis and citric acid cycle pathway is shown in diagram.

# Reactions of glycolysis that –

I. Consumes ATP       = 1, 3

II. Produces ATP        = 7, 10

III. Consumes NAD+ and produces NADH = 6

IV. Consumes FAD and produces FADH2 = none

# Reactions of TCA that –

I. Consumes ATP       = none

II. Produces ATP        = 6

III. Consumes NAD+ and produces NADH = 4, 5, 9

IV. Consumes FAD and produces FADH2 = 7
