5. CELLS CAN HARVEST THE MOST CHEMICAL ENERGY FROM WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING?
A. AN NADH MOLEDULE
B. A GLUCOSE MOLECULE
C. SIX C02 MOLECULE
D. TWO PYRUVIC ACID MODECULES
.
Answer - A GLUCOSE MOLECULE
A GLUCOSE MOLECULE - 36 or 38 ATP molecule
NADH molecule produce - 3ATP molecule
Six CO2 molecule - Six CO2 molecule join and form glucose. It uses or invest the energy.
TWO PYRUVIC ACID MODECULES -
ATP calculation for 1 Pyruvic Acid
From 1 pyruvate to acetyl coA it produce 1NADH. Then Acetyl coA enter to TCA and forms 3NADH and 1FADH2
Total ATP for ONE PYRUVIC ACID = 4NADH X 3 ATP = 12 ATP
1FADH2 X 2 ATP = 2 ATP
Total ATP from ONE PYRUVIC ACID = 14 ATP
Total ATP from TWO PYRUVIC ACID = 28 ATP
