A new organism is discovered which contains a super enzyme that requires no ATP to split glucose into pyruvate but cannot function if oxygen is present. What is this organism's net production of ATP from one molecule of glucose?

Cellular respiration

Step-by-step explanation:

  • In aerobic conditions, conditions, the procedure changes over one atom of glucose into two particles of pyruvate (pyruvic acid ).
  • Four particles of ATP for every glucose are really delivered, be that as it may, two are are consumed as part of the preparatory phase
  • The total amount of ATP created per glucose particle, and that is 38 starting from glycolysis upto Electron transport system (ETC)
  • 1 glucose atom will yield 2 pyruvate that will run in the Kreb's cycle
  • The net energy gain in fermentation ion 2 ATP atoms/glucose particle
  • In both lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation, all the NADH produced in glycolysis is consumed in fermentation so there is no net NADH production, and no NADH to enter the ETC and structure more ATP
