If you take into account the amount of ATP generated by ATP synthase per molecule of NADH produced in aerobic respiration, the net number of ATP molecules produced by substrate-level phosphorylation, and the fact that NADH molecules produced in the cytoplasm have to be transported into the mitochondria, what is the predicted energy yield of glycolysis in eukaryotic cells?  

A.  2 ATP B.  5 ATP C.  7 ATP D.  32 ATP E.  30 ATP Clarify Question What is the key concept addressed by the question? What type of thinking is required?   Gather Content   What do you already know about glycolysis and ATP and NADH yield? What energy costs are required to transport NADH produced in the cytosol via glycolysis into the mitochondria? What other information is related to the question?   Choose Answer   Do you have all necessary information to determine which products would affect cellular respiration?   Reflect on Process   Did your problem-solving process lead you to the correct answer? If not, where did the process break down or lead you astray? How can you revise your approach to produce a more desirable result?
