Starting with pyruvate to make acetyl-CoA and continuing into the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation, how many ATP can be made from 1 molecule of pyruvate

The correct answer is - 15 ATPs.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration (aerobic) is the process that involves glycolysis, oxidative decarboxylation, citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation or ETS to breakdown one molecule of glucose in order to generate energy in ATPs. Pyrivate is the end product of glycolysis and it is go to form acetyl CoA.

One molecule of pyruvate genrates 1 molecule of FADH2, four molecules of NADH, and 1 molecule of ATP during oxidative decarboxylation and citric acd cycle. During the oxidation in the electron transport system there is 4 molecules of NADH2, 1 molecule of FADH2, and 12 (4×3) ATP molecules, respectively by oxidation in the electron transport system (ETS).

Thus, there would be 15 molecules of ATPs produce by one molecule of pyruvate.
