During which stage in the complete oxidation of glucose are the greatest number of ATP molecules formed from ADP?

Options

  1. AConversion of pyruvic acid to acetyl Co-A
  2. BElectron transport chain
  3. CGlycolysis
  4. DKrebs cycle

Correct answer

B. Electron transport chain

Step-by-step solution

In glycolysis 4 ATP and 2NADH22 \mathrm{NADH}_2 molecules are formed. These 2NADH22 \mathrm{NADH}_2 molecules go to electron transport chain. In oxidative decarboxylation no ATP molecule is formed but two molecules of NADH2\mathrm{NADH}_2 are formed from two molecules of pyruvate. These two NADH2\mathrm{NADH}_2 go to electron transport chain. In Krebs cycle 2 ATP, 6NADH26 \mathrm{NADH}_2 and 2FADH22 \mathrm{FADH}_2 molecules are formed from two molecule of acetyl Co-A. These NADH2\mathrm{NADH}_2 and FADH2\mathrm{FADH}_2 go to electron transport chain. In electron transport chain all NADH2\mathrm{NADH}_2 and FADH2\mathrm{FADH}_2 pass to electron carriers and yield 3 ATP and 2 ATP molecules per NADH2\mathrm{NADH}_2 and FADH2\mathrm{FADH}_2 respectively. Thus, 4 ATP are formed in glycolysis 2 ATP in Krebs cycle and 34 ATP from electron transport chain 40 ATP 2 ATP molecules are used during glycolysis. So, net gain of ATP molecules during one complete oxidation of a glucose molecule is 38 ATP.
