How much ATP is produced in the glycolysis and TCA cycle?

Answer: Four ATP, ten NADH + H+, and two FADH2 are produced as net energy with one molecule of glucose during the Krebs cycle and glycolysis cycle, respectively.

  • Two ATP were used in glycolysis, which resulted in the production of four ATP & two NADH + H+.
  • 2 NADH + H+ was generated during the pyruvate into acetyl CoA transformation.

2 ATP, 6 NADH +H+, and 2 FADH2 were created during the Krebs cycle.

By way of the Krebs cycle, glycolysis generated a net of 4 ATPs. The electron transportation chain and adenosine triphosphate in the mitochondria will result in the production of more ATP from decreased coenzymes.
