How many ATP are formed by oxidation of one glucose molecule in liver cells ?
Options
- A36
- B38
- C2
- D8
Correct answer
B. 38
Step-by-step solution
In liver cells and prokaryotic cells, 38 ATP are produced by the complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose. aligned Glycolysis 2 ATP directly & =2 ATP 2 mol. of NADH & =6 ATP aligned Pyruvic acid to Acetyl Co-A 2 mol. of NADH = 6 ATP Citric acid 6 mol. of NADH = 18 ATP cycle array ll 2 ~mol . of FADH & =4 ATP 2 ~mol . of GTP & =2 ATP Total & =38 ATP array
