Chapter 23, Problem 23.47E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason as to why $\text{NADH}$ produced in muscles during glycolysis gives rise to $1.5$ molecules of $\text{ATP}$ is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Glycolysis is the process in which the glucose molecules convert into pyruvate. The energy released in this process is used for the formation of $\text{ATP}$ and $\text{NADH}$. This process is the sequence of ten enzyme catalyzed reactions.
