what is the net yield of atp from glycolysis of one glucose molecule?
two net molecules of atp
glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that takes place in the cytosol of cells in all living organisms. this pathway can function with or without the presence of oxygen. in humans, aerobic conditions produce pyruvate and anaerobic conditions produce lactate. in aerobic conditions, the process converts one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate (pyruvic acid), generating energy in the form of two net molecules of atp. four molecules of atp per glucose are actually produced, however, two are consumed as part of the preparatory phase. the initial phosphorylation of glucose is required to increase the reactivity (decrease its stability) in order for the molecule to be cleaved into two pyruvate molecules by the enzyme aldolase. during the pay-off phase of glycolysis, four phosphate groups are transferred to adp by substrate-level phosphorylation to make four atp, and two nadh are produced when the pyruvate are oxidized. the overall reaction can be expressed this way:
cellular respiration
distinct features of the entner–doudoroff pathway are that it:









































bullet::::- uses 6-phosphogluconate dehydratase and 2-keto-3-deoxyphosphogluconate aldolase to create pyruvate from glucose.









































bullet::::- has a net yield of 1 atp for every one glucose molecule processed, as well as 1 nadh and 1 nadph. in comparison, glycolysis has a net yield of 2 atp molecules and 2 nadh molecules for every one glucose molecule metabolised.
