  • ATP yield per glucose in eukaryotic vs prokaryotic cells

    2 NADH yields 6 ATP (assuming 3 ATP per NADH) by oxidative phosphorylation Therefore, this is a total of 8 ATP.

  • ATP Production From Oxidization Of Ethanol

    The input to convert ethanol to acetylCoA was two NAD+ and 1 ATP. Since each NAD+ can form 3 ATP, the total input is 7 ATP (or ATP equivalents). In order words, we need 7 ATP equivalents just to convert ethanol to acetylCoA.

  • ATP Role in Energy

    ATP is crucial in several tissues such as the heart and the brain. The primary source of ATP is from glycolysis but this is not the only source of ATP formation.

  • Anaerobic and aerobic respiration

    First, the ATP-CP pathway used up all its ATP stored in muscle, and this usually last about 2-3 seconds.

  • The energy in glucose is transformed into ATP

    Two pyruvate molecules (one glucose molecule) yield 6 NADH, 2 FADH2, and 2 ATP. 2 ATP from substrate-level phosphorylation 6 NADH yields 18 ATP (3 ATP per NADH) by oxidative phosphorylation 2 FADH2 yields 4 ATP (2 ATP per FADH2) by oxidative phosphorylation

  • Total number of ATP molecules produced from one molecule of maltose

    (some books say 3 ATP from NADH and 2 ATP from FADH2 just so you know) Add up the total NADH produced in steps 1-3 and you get 10 molecules of NADH which equals 25 molecules of ATP.

  • Gibbs Free Energy: ATP-coupled reactions:

    (a) Phosphocreatine + ATP --> creatine + ATP (b) ATP + fructose --> ADP + fructose 6-phosphate a) Phosphocreatine + H2O --> Creatine + Pi deltaG = - 43 KJ/mol ADP + Pi --> ATP + H2O deltaG = + 30.5 KJ/mol Phosphocreatine +ADP --> creatine

  • standard free energy change for the hydrolysis of ATP

    ATP (0.073 Kcal) --> ADP (0.0073) + Pi (0.73) The enthalpy of ADP is lower as it is more stable than ATP in that it releases far less energy when metabolised.

  • The body Metabolism

    "Net" ATP production is the difference between ATP generation and ATP expenditure or energy use. Hence, ATP GENERATION - ATP EXPENDITURE = NET ATP For each turn of the Kreb's cycle, how much ATP is produced?

  • Easy-to-read notes on the generation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by the mitochondrion.

    like) 3 NADH --> 9 ATP 1 FADH2 --> 2 ATP 1 GTP --> 1 ATP Thus: Acetyl CoA --> 12 ATP ATP SYNTHESIS Proton Pumps Flavo Protein, FeS Protein, Quinone Enzyme Complex Sited on the inner mitochondrial membrane Use NADH and FADH2 to pump H+ into
