How many ATP are formed by oxidation of one glucose molecular in liver cells ?
36
38
2
8
B.
38
In liver cells and prokaryotic cells 38 ATP are produced by the complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose.
During glycolysis:
2 ATP directly - 2 ATP
2 molecules of NADH - 6 ATP
During Pyruvic to Acetyl CoA:
2 molecules of NADH - 6 ATP
Pyruvic acid to Acetyl CoA:
6 molecules of NADH - 18 ATP
2 molecules of FADH - 4 ATP
2 molecules of GTP - 2 ATP
Total number of ATP is 38. Therefore, 38 ATP are produced.
The presence of arginase confirms that :
urea cycle is operating
urea cycle may be operating
arginine is being converted into ornithine
arginine is being converted into citrulline
Glycolysis is found in cytoplasm of virtually all types of aerobic/ anaerobic cells. In this process glucose is converted into
