In hexose monophosphate shunt, the net formation of ATP molecules is
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A 36
Hexose monophosphate shunt is an alternative pathway to glycolysis or the tricarboxylic acid cycle for glucose oxidation. It occurs in the cytoplasm and has two phases; the oxidative phase and the non-oxidative phase. This is the only process that generates reduced NADPH₂ which act as the reducing agent in the biosynthetic processes.6 glucose molecules that enter hexose monophosphate shunt, produces 12 NADPH₂ and 6 carbon dioxide.12 NADPH₂ molecules when undergo ETS forms 36 molecules of ATP.So, the correct option is '36'

6 glucose molecules that enter hexose monophosphate shunt, produces 12 NADPH₂ and 6 carbon dioxide.
12 NADPH₂ molecules when undergo ETS forms 36 molecules of ATP.
So, the correct option is '36'
