Document Summary

An accounting of atp production by cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, most energy flows in the following sequence: About 34% of the energy in a glucose molecule is transferred to atp during cellular respiration, making about 32 atp. There are several reasons why the number of atp molecules is not known exactly. 1 mole of glucose= 686 kcal (delta g= -868 kcal/mol) 1 molecule of glucose yields ~32 atp= 7. 3*32= 233. 6 kcal. Why atp yield from each glucose is approximate: phosphorylation and the redox reactions are not directly coupled to each other. 1 fadh2= 1. 5 atp: the mitochondrial inner membrane is impermeable to nadh= depends on the electron shuttle, some of the proton-motive force could be used. Source of atp: phosphorylation of glucose and fructose 6-phosphate uses two atp from the cytoplasm. Source of atp: oxidative phosphorylation: each nadh produces net 1. 5 atp (instead of usual 2. 5) due to nadh transport over the mitochondrial membrane (coenzyme yield:
