NEET Biology Respiration In Plants Question Bank Glycolysis

  • question_answer
    Total ATP production during EMP pathway is [CBSE PMT 1990; CPMT 1982, 84; DPMT 1983]

    A) 24 ATP molecules

    B) 8 ATP molecules

    C) 38 ATP molecules

    D) 6 ATP molecules

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The net reaction of glycolysis would be \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}+2ADP+2Pi+2NAD+\xrightarrow{Glu\cos e}\] \[\underset{Pyruvate}{\mathop{2{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{4}}{{O}_{3}}}}\,+2NADH(+{{H}^{+}})+2ATP+2{{H}_{2}}O\]                \[\underset{Glu\cos e}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}}}\,+8ADP+8Pi\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{Pyruvate}{\mathop{2{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{4}}{{O}_{3}}}}\,+8ATP+2{{H}_{2}}O\]
