In glucose metabolism, glucose enters into the Glycolysis pathway. The products of glycolysis are then utilized by the Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex, which shuttles its products into the Citric Acid Cycle. The combined activities of these pathways directly synthesize a number of molecules of ATP, GTP, NADH and FADH2. Indicate the net gain of each of the molecules listed in the table below if a single glucose molecule were to be completely and sequentially metabolized by all three processes.
