Below is the overall net equation for the complete oxidation of pyruvate. Calculate the number of ATP molecules that can be produced from the complete oxidation of 6 molecules of pyruvate. Pyruvate +4NAD++FAD+GDP+Pi+2H2?O?3CO2?+4NADH+4H++FADH2?+GTP (Given: The oxidation of one NADH yields 2.5 ATP; the oxidation of one FADH F2? yields 1.5 ATP; and one GDP yields 1 ATP.) 32 ATP 75 ATP 12.5 ATP 60 ATP
1. Given: - Oxidation of one NADH yields 2.5 ATP - Oxidation of one FADH2 yields 1.5 ATP - One GDP yields 1 ATP2. We are provided with the net equation for the complete oxidation of pyruvate: From this equation, we can determine the stoichiometric coefficients for each molecule involved in the reaction.
