. One turn of Krebs cycle for the oxidation of 1 mol of sucrose produces
a. 10 ATP molecules
b. 12 ATPmolecules
c. 14 ATP molecules
d. 16ATP molecules
Best Answer
b.
Whether it is glucose/sucrose, one turn of Krebs cycle produces 12 ATP. In sucrose, there will be in all four turns of Krebs cycle instead of two, as in case of glucose, and therefore, total ATP production will be two times more than glucose, that is 76 ATP.
