how many ATP molecules are generated from a molecule of pyruvicacid which is broken down into CO2and H2O
One glucose molecule give rise to 2 molecules of pyruvate during glycolysis. These two molecules of pyruvate enter citric acid cycle and at the end of cellular respiration forms 36 ATP molecules.
The single pyruvic acid molecule produces 15 ATPs during citric acid cycle.
