Glycolysis and the Krebs cycle yield 10 molecules of NADH per molecule of glucose. How many molecules of ATP will be made from them in the electron transport system?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the electron transport system, each NADH molecule can produce approximately 3 molecules of ATP. Since glycolysis and the Krebs cycle yield a total of 10 NADH molecules per glucose molecule, this results in 30 ATP molecules (10 NADH x 3 ATP/NADH = 30 ATP).
