To compare:
The number of ATP molecules required to produce one glucose molecule in photosynthesis with the number of ATP molecules generated per glucose in aerobic respiration. Also, explain how these numbers compares to the ATP yield from fermentation.
Introduction:
The chemical process in which energy required for cellular functions is synthesized using oxygen is known as aerobic

- What do the electrons added to NAD do? a. They become part of a fermentation pathway. b. They go to another pathway for ATP production. c. They energize the entry of the acetyl group into the citric acid cycle. d. They are converted into NADP.arrow_forwardExplain the reciprocal nature of the net chemical reactions for photosynthesis and respiration.arrow_forwardWhen muscle cells run out of oxygen, what happens to the potential for energy extraction from sugars and what pathways do the cell use?arrow_forward
