Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How many oxidation, decarboxylation and substrate level phosphorylation occurs respectively during complete oxidation of two pyruvate molecule:-
A
3, 5, 1
B
6, 10, 2
C
10, 6, 2
D
5, 3, 1
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: 6 ATP are formed through substrate-level phosphorylation from one molecule of glucose when it is completely oxidized.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hence, the correct answer is option ā€œCā€ ā€“ Three.

Detailed explanation-3: -Two ATP molecules are required to start glycolysis (from glucose), and four are generated by substrate-level phosphorylation.
