Energetic Summary of Cellular Respiration

Question 1

what is the net amount of ATP created from glycolysis and by which method are they made?

Answer 1

2 via substrate-level phosphorylation

Question 2

how many NADH and FADH2 are produced from glycolysis and by which method are they made?

Answer 2

2NADH and 2FADH2 via glycerol phosphate shuttle

Question 3

if 2 ATP are produced per FADH2, how many ATP are produced from glycolysis and by which method are they made

Answer 3

since 2 FADH2 were made, 4 ATP are produced via oxidative phosphorylation

Question 4

how much NADH is produced from pyruvate oxidation?

Answer 4

2 NADH

Question 5

if 1 NADH made 3 ATPs how many ATP are produced from pyruvate oxidation and by which method are they made?

Answer 5

since 2 NADH were made, 6 ATPs are produced via oxidative phosphorylation

Question 6

how much ATP is produced from the Krebs cycle and by which method are they made?

Answer 6

2 ATP via substrate-level phosphorylation

Question 7

how much NADH is produced from the electron transport chain?

Answer 7

6 NADH

Question 8

if 1 NADH makes 3 ATP, how much ATP is produced from the electron transport chain?

Answer 8

since 6 NADH are made there would be 18 adenosine triphosphates

Question 9

how much FADH2 is produced from the electron transport chain?

Answer 9

2 FADH2

Question 10

if 2 ATP are produced per FADH2, how many ATP were produced from the electron transport chain and by which method were they made?

Answer 10

since 2 FADH2 were produced, 4 ATP were made via oxidative phosphorylation
