Respiration In Plants Ques 19
19. EMP can produce a total of
(a) $6 ATP$
(b) 8 ATP
(c) $24 ATP$
(d) $38 ATP$
Show Answer
Answer : b
Hints & Solutions
(b) The EMP pathway (glycolysis) produces a net gain of 2 ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation and 2 NADH molecules. When NADH is oxidised through the electron transport chain (each NADH yields 3 ATP), the total ATP produced from glycolysis is 2 + 6 = 8 ATP.
