Involving the glycolysis, what is the net gain of ATP?
There is a net gain of 8 ATP molecules for glycolysis as a whole in aerobic respiration. This can be broken down into the following steps:
A. From the conversion of one molecule of glucose to two molecules of pyruvic acid, there is a net gain of two (2) ATP molecules. These 2 ATPs result from the generation of 4 ATPs in the conversion of ADP to ATP, and the expenditure of 2 ATPs in the phosphorylation of the ...
