Question

Calculate the number of ATP generated from each of the given molecules.

For this problem, use the values:

1 NADH provides the energy for the synthesis of 2.5 ATP.

1 FADH2 provides energy for the synthesis of 1.5 ATP.

4 NADH:___ ATP 2 acetyl-CoA:____ ATP

5 FADH2:____ATP 4 glucose: ___ ATP

Answer 1

INADH = 2.5 ATP IFADH2 = 1.5 ATP 4 NADH = 4X2.5 ATP - 10 ATP 5 FAOH = 5x1.5 ATP a 7.5 ATP Direct synthesis 2 acetyl coa = 2X3 NADH +2FADH₂ +2 APP = 6 NADH +2FADH2 +2 ATP = (6x2.5 ATP)+ (2x1.5 ATC) +2 ATP = 20 ATP 4 Glucose . 1 Glucose = IONADH + 2FADH2 + 4ATP = (10x2.5 ATP) + (2x 1.5 ATP) + 4 ATP – 32 ATP & Glucose = 4x32 ATP - 128 ATP
