Chapter 23, Problem 23.48E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The number of moles of $\text{ATP}$ produced by glycolysis is to be indicated.

Concept introduction:

Glycolysis is the process in which the glucose molecules are converted 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.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The number of moles of $\text{ATP}$ produced by the citric acid cycle is to be indicated.

Concept introduction:

The citric acid cycle is the process in which pyruvate is converted into acetyl $\text{CoA}$. The citric acid cycle is a closed loop and contains eight steps. The citric acid cycle is also known as Kreb’s cycle

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The number of moles of $\text{ATP}$ produced by the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation is to be indicated.

Concept introduction:

In oxidative phosphorylation, the electrons are transfer from donor molecules to acceptor molecules. During this process, the energy released is used for the formation of $\text{ATP}$. These reactions are the redox reactions.
