Gce Model Questions Vol1 2018 Biology Question 30
Practice objective / multiple choice question 30 from the 2018 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Biology examination.
During aerobic respiration of one molecule of glucose, each NADH yields \(2.5\) ATP and each FADH₂ yields \(1.5\) ATP. Glycolysis produces \(2\) NADH and \(2\) ATP, pyruvate oxidation produces \(2\) NADH, and the Krebs cycle yields \(6\) NADH, \(2\) FADH₂ and \(2\) GTP (≈\(2\) ATP). Because of proton leak, the overall ATP yield is reduced by \(10\%\) of the theoretical total. Calculate the net number of ATP molecules produced per glucose molecule after accounting for the proton leak.
