If the Earth were a disk with its surface perpendicular to the rays of sunlight, each point on it would receive the same amount of radiation. <span> However, the Earth is a sphere and aside from the part closest to the sun, where the rays of sunlight are perpendicular to the ground, its surface tilts with respect to the incoming rays of energy with the regions furthest away. Hope this answers the question.</span>
Answer:
12 molecules of ATP can be made from one molecule of acetyl CoA.
Explanation:
If one molecule of acetyl CoA enter TCA cycle then it result in the formation of 3 molecules of NADH,1 molecule of FADH2 and 1 molecule of GTP that is equivalent to 1 molecule of ATP.
Now the reducing equivalent such as NADH and FADH2 enters electron transport chain and get oxidized to regenerate NAD+ and FAD along with ATP. 1 molecule of NADH produces 3 molecules of ATP whereas 1 molecule of FADH2 produces 2 molecules of ATP.
So that net gain of ATP is given below
3 molecules of NADH = 9 molecules of ATP
1 molecule of FADH2 =2 molecules of ATP
1 molecule of GTP = 1 molecule of ATP
As a result total 12 molecules of ATP is by the oxidation of 1 Acetyl CoA by TCA cycle .
