List the energy yield in ATP molecules for each of the following:

c. Glucose → 2 lactate

Accepted Answer

Hello and welcome back. Our next question says, what is the energy yield in terms of at TP for the anaerobic conversion of glucose to lactate A 280 PB three A PC four A P or D six A P. So we just wanted to think about what our starting product or starting reactant is and our end product. So we're going from glucose to lactate. So that means we're in anaerobic conditions, we have lactic acid fermentation going on since we have lactate as a product. So we have two processes. We have glucose going through several steps to become pyruvate or we should say two pr eight to be clear there in the process of glycolysis. And now because we're in anaerobic conditions, our two pyros get converted to two lactates in this process of lactic acid fermentation. So what is our yield of A TP in these processes? Well, in glycolysis, we have a net yield of two A TP molecules per molecule of glucose. Recall that four A TP are actually produced throughout those reactions, but two A TP are consumed. So again, that's what we have a net yield there. But in lactic acid fermentation. There's no consumption or production of A TP recall that the fermentation process is used in anaerobic conditions to regenerate N AD plus. So that glycolysis can continue, but it doesn't have an effect on a TP production. So then our energy yield in A TP is in the same as the energy yield from aerobic glycolysis. So that's going to be choice A two A TP. Again, since there's no A TP consumption or production in that secondary process of lactic acid fermentation, there's no change to the net yield of glucose from glycolysis which is choice A to A TP.
