The net ATP-yield in eukaryotes from glycolysis, TCA cycle, and electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation can be readily calculated. Before the general acceptance of the chemiosmotic hypothesis for oxidative phosphorylation, this calculation was based on phosphate/oxygen ratio (P/O ratio). Most experiments yielded P/O (ATP to ½ O2) ratio of more than two when NADH was […]

The following points highlight the three steps involved in aerobic respiration in plants. The steps are: 1. Glycolysis 2. Krebs cycle 3. Terminal Oxidation. Step # 1. Glycolysis (Gk. glycos – sugar, lysis – splitting, Fig. 14.2): It is also called ЕМР pathway because it was discovered by three German scientists— Gustav Embden, Otto Meyerhof […]
