If a cell is able to synthesize 30 ATP molecules for each molecule of glucose completely oxidized by carbon dioxide and water, how many ATP molecules can the cell synthesize for each molecule of pyruvate oxidized to carbon dioxide and water?

If a cell is able to synthesize 30 ATP molecules for each molecule of glucose, then FOURTEEN (14) ATP molecules the cell can synthesize for each molecule of pyruvate.

In conclusion, if a cell is able to synthesize 30 ATP molecules for each molecule of glucose, then FOURTEEN (14) ATP molecules the cell can synthesize for each molecule of pyruvate.

The answer to the question is;

The number of ATP molecules the cell synthesize for each molecule of pyruvate oxidized to carbon dioxide and water is 14 ATP molecules.

Explanation:

The chemical reaction for glycolysis is

Glucose + 2 NAD⁺ + 2 Pi + 2 ADP → 2 pyruvate + 2 NADH + 2 ATP + 2 H⁺ + 2 H₂O + heat

As seen above, each glucose molecule produces 2 pyruvate molecules and   2 ATP. Therefore, if the cell can produce 30 ATP per glucose molecule then, since 2 ATP are already produced directly by the glycolysis of glucose, the remaining 28 ATP re produced from the two pyruvate molecules

Therefore, the number of ATP molecules the cell can synthesize for each pyruvate oxidized to carbon dioxide and water is 28/2 or 14 ATP.

when [oh-] is 10-5  m, and [h3o+] is 10-9  m, the poh is 5 and ph is 9. again in both cases the sum of ph and poh is 14. however, the hydrogen ion concentration is not always going to be equal to exactly 1 x 10 raised to a negative number. for example, we skipped over the value of 2.0 x 10-7.

it can be observed without changing the identity of the object.

it depends on what substance you're talking about as well as many other factors. in quantum mechanics, the observation of particles affects the observers ability to measure certain properties. for example: you can know the velocity of a particle, but you can't know it's position; or you can know it's position, but not it's velocity. it's like trying to find out where a grain of sand is by throwing other grains of sand at it. once you find out where it is, it's been moved. it's also like trying to find an answer to the question of whether or not a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if nobody is there to hear it. paradoxically, the only way to find out is to be there and hear it.
