the Process of ATP Synthesis

Question 1: What is the full form of ATP? 

Answer: 

ATP (Adenosine triphosphate). 

Question 2: In the Krebs Cycle, How Many ATPs are produced? 

Answer:

In one Krebs Cycle, two ATPs are generated. The Krebs cycle produces 4 CO2, 6 NADH, 2 FADH2, and 2 ATPs for fully oxidizing a glucose molecule.

Question 3: How Many NADH are Produced In The Krebs Cycle?

Answer:

Three molecules of NADH are created during one cycle of the Krebs cycle. A glucose molecule will produce 4 CO2, 6 NADH, 2 FADH2, and 2 ATPs via the Krebs cycle.

Question 4: How is ATP synthesized in mitochondria?

Answer:

Through oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria, the majority of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) created during glucose metabolism is produced. This intricate reaction is driven by the proton gradient produced by mitochondrial respiration across the inner membrane of the cell.

Question 5: What is glycolysis? 

Answer: 

Glycolysis is the process in which glucose is broken down to produce energy.



ATP Synthesis in Mitochondria

ATP or adenosine triphosphate provides energy to the cell or living organisms. Atp is required by the cells for different activities such as the transportation of ions, muscle contractions, and biomolecule synthesis. ATP synthesis in cellular respiration. The oxidation of respiratory substrates such as proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates produces ATP. Energy is produced during their oxidation and is then stored in ATP as high-energy bonds.
