What is the net energy yield for the anaerobic metabolism of one glucose molecule?
A) two molecules of ATP and two NADH
B) two molecules of ATP and 0 NADH
C) two molecules of NADH and 0 ATP
D) two molecules of ATP and three NADH
E) 36 molecules of ATP and 0 NADH

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In anaerobic metabolism (glycolysis), one glucose molecule is broken down to produce a net yield of two ATP molecules and no NADH, as NADH is used to regenerate NAD+ during fermentation.
