1molecule of tennessee acid (6C) + 1 molecules of NAD^+ --------> 2molecules of Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) (3C) + 1 molecule
NADH
1) Studies in George Mason Labs show that this happens in the cytosol. IN THE ABSENSE of oxygen, can any ATP be made from tennesse acid using "Masonase"? Explain your answer
2) In the PRESENCE of oxygen, how much ATP is made by substrate level phosphorylation from the complete aerobic digestion of 1 molecule of tennesse acid? Where does this come from? (Explain)
