How many ATP molecules are produced when one hexose sugar molecule is converted into two molecules of pyruvic acid during glycolysis?

جب گلائکولیسس کے دوران ایک ہیکسوز شوگر انو انو کو پیروکی ایسڈ کے دو انووں میں تبدیل کیا جاتا ہے تو کتنے اے ٹی پی انو تیار ہوتے ہیں؟
Explanation
  • Glycolysis Overview: One molecule of hexose sugar (e.g., glucose) undergoes glycolysis, producing two molecules of pyruvic acid.
  • ATP Yield in Glycolysis:
    • ATP Used: 2 ATP (investment phase)
    • ATP Produced: 4 ATP (payoff phase)
    • Net ATP Gain: 2 ATP
    • NADH Production: 2 NADH (each NADH = 3 ATP in the electron transport chain, yielding 6 ATP)
    • Total ATP = 2 + 6 = 8 ATP
