The aerobic phase of cellular respiration in the mitochondrion produces a net of about 28 to 30 ATP molecules. How does this compare to the energy released in glycosis?

Respuesta :

Answer:

More ATP is produced in mitochondria

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration. It is a common process of both anaerobic and aerobic respiration. It occurs in the cytoplasm of a living cell. During glycolysis 4 ATP and 2 NADH is produced and 2 ATP is used up. Thus, there is net gain of 2 ATP. The completion of cellular respiration takes place in mitochondrial matrix and on inner membrane, where all the co-enzymes NADH and FADH₂ oxidised to release ATPs. On oxidation each NADH produce 3ATP and each FADH₂ produces 2 ATP. Total 10 NADH is produced during complete oxudation which yield 30 ATP and 2 FADH₂ yields 4 ATP. Thus, in the mitochondria more ATP is produced as compared to glycolysis.

The aerobic phase of cellular respiration where a net amount of 28 to 30 ATP is generated is distinct from glycolysis in terms of the amount of energy generated because only 2 ATP are generated from the latter.

During glycolysis, glucose molecules undergo a series of reactions in which 2 molecules of pyruvates result along with 2 molecules of ATP as well as 1 molecule of NADH. More specifically, 4 ATP are produced but 2 are consumed back in the process, meaning that the net number of ATP produced is 2.

If this amount of ATP is compared to the aerobic phase of cellular respiration (Kreb's cycle and electron transport chain), one would see that about x14 to x15 of the amount of energy generated in glycolysis is produced in the aerobic phase.
