Question
Net gain of ATP in glycolysis
Net gain of ATP in glycolysis
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D 8
Glycolysis is the first stage of the breakdown of glucose in the cell. During glycolysis 2 ATP molecules are used up and four ATP molecules are generated. In the entire process of glycolysis, two NADH₂ molecules are also generated. When these molecules undergo ETS they will form 3 ATP per NADH₂ which means 6 ATP.Therefore the total ATP that are forming are 10 and as 2 ATP is used up the net gain will be 8.So, the correct option is '8'
