How many ATPs are generated in glycolysis?In glycolysis, there are two pyruvate molecules generated per a molecule of glucose.
But how many ATPs are generated per a molecule of glucose? Does conversion of ATP from ADP occur at "glucose -> Glucose 6-phosphate", and "Fructose 6-phospate -> Fructose 1,6-biphosphate"? What happens at the conversion of "1,3-Disphosphoglycerate -> 3-Phosphoglycerate"? Is it ATP->ADP or ADP-> ATP Thanks you?
Glucose to glucose 6 phosphate requires to the coversion of atp to adp.
The next step is glucose to glucose 1-6 diphosphate and then the conversion to fructose 1-6 diphospohate and then breakdown in 1-3 dipohosglyceric phosphoglyceraldehyde - but I may be a bit foggy on that step. however, after this step the conversion to acetic acid results in the gain of 4 ATP's. Acetic Acid then enters the Krebs cycle at the surface of the mitochondrion which possesses the enzymes and substrates to complete the production of ATP.
