Vedclass · Answer

(A) In eukaryotic cells,specifically in tissues like the liver,kidney,and heart,the glycerol-phosphate shuttle is used to transport electrons from cytosolic $NADH$ into the mitochondria.Because this shuttle system is used,the $2$ $NADH$ molecules produced during glycolysis yield $2$ $ATP$ each instead of $3$ $ATP$ each.Therefore,the total yield is $2$ $ATP$ (glycolysis) + $2$ $ATP$ (Krebs cycle) + $6$ $NADH$ $	imes$ $3$ $ATP$ + $2$ $FADH_2$ $	imes$ $2$ $ATP$ + $2$ $NADH$ (from glycolysis) $	imes$ $2$ $ATP$ = $36$ $ATP$ molecules.

Stages	$ATP$ produced through $ETS$
$A$. Glycolysis	$1$. $6$
$B$. Formation of Acetyl $CoA$ from Pyruvic acid	$2$. $3$
$C$. Kreb's cycle	$3$. $24$
