Question

How many net ATP is made in glycolysis?

Answer 1

ATP made in glycolysis

1. Two ATPs are initially planted when glucose is converted to glucose-6-phosphate
2. Fructose-6-phosphate is converted to fructose 1,6 diphosphate.
3. Four ATPs are released (in pairs) in two other reactions.
4. 1,3 biphosphoglycerate is converted to 3 phosphoglycerates as well.
5. phosphoenolpyruvate is converted to pyruvate.
6. Thus the total benefit is 2 ATP in glycolysis.
