Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Both phosphates are removed from each PGAL and are used to create ____
A
ATP
B
ADP
C
Sunlight
D
Glucose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -On substrate level phosphorylation, one molecule of PGAL produces 3 ATP (two from glycolysis and one from TCA cycle).

Detailed explanation-2: -Step by step video solution for In glycolysis, two redox-equivalents are removed, in the form of two hydrogen atoms from PGAL and transferred to a molecule of by Biology experts to help you in doubts & scoring excellent marks in Class 12 exams.

Detailed explanation-3: -We saw PGAL as a major component of the Calvin-Benson cycle. * Oxidation of PGAL (2) provides the energy to add a second phosphate, while creating a 2 molecules of NADH. It is the addition of this phosphate which provides the excess ATP yield of the pathway.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose is split in half 2 molecules called PGAL. Each PGAL is then converted into a molecule called Pyruvic acid.
