Identify each individual pathway in order that a molecule of glucose must go through in order to be completely oxidized, and identify how many ATP are derived from each step
?Initially, glucose enters glycolysis. For this step, 2 ATP are required, and 4 ATP are formed, for a net gain of 2 ATP from glycolysis. At the end of glycolysis, the pyruvate that is formed reacts to form acetyl Co-A, which then enters the TCA cycle. Finally, the electrons generated in glycolysis and the TCA cycle enter the electron transport chain, which then converts the electrons into ATP. Approximately 28-30 ATP are made during the electron transport chain. Together, one molecule of glucose yields approximately 32 ATP.
