This results in pyruvate and 1 molecule of ATP being produced.
Remember we have 2 molecules so in total 2 ATPs are produced and 2 molecules of pyruvate are produced.]]> 2021-02-25 22:45:50 UTC https://padlet.com/lecarson1/ftwue6oqzaq4kabu/wish/1243553329 lecarson1 https://padlet.com/lecarson1/ftwue6oqzaq4kabu/wish/1243582316 The 2 pyruvate molecules are dehydrogenated by NAD+ and decarboxylated, this converts them into 2 Acetate molecules.
