Open in App
Solution

NADH

  1. In prokaryotes, one molecule of NADH produces 3 molecules of ATP.
  2. The theoretical maximal ATP output for the oxidation of one molecule of glucose during aerobic respiration is 38.
  3. NADH produces the following amount of ATP:
    1. Glycolysis: By oxidative phosphorylation, 2 NADH generates 6 ATP.
    2. Reaction to Transition: 2 NADH generates 6 ATP.
    3. The cycle of citric acid: By oxidative phosphorylation, 6 NADH generates 18 ATP.
  4. One molecule of NADH is equivalent to two ATP in the cytoplasm.
  5. One NADH molecule is equivalent to three ATP molecules inside the mitochondria.
