Neco Model Questions Vol1 2018 Biology Question 36
Practice objective / multiple choice question 36 from the 2018 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Biology examination.
During aerobic respiration, each NADH normally yields 3 ATP and each FADH\(_2\) yields 2 ATP. In glycolysis, 2 ATP and 2 NADH are produced; pyruvate oxidation yields 2 NADH; the Krebs cycle yields 2 ATP, 6 NADH and 2 FADH\(_2\) per glucose. A mutation reduces the efficiency of the electron transport chain such that each NADH generated in the Krebs cycle yields only 2 ATP, while all other NADH and FADH\(_2\) yields remain unchanged. Calculate the total number of ATP molecules produced from one molecule of glucose under these conditions.
