Question

Now, what would the overall reaction be for the pathway starting with glucose and ending with acetic acid, in such bacteria? Just use glycolysis to get from glucose to pyruvate and then the information given above to get from pyruvate to acetic acid. Add everything together to get an overall reaction for converting glucose to 2 acetic acid.

A. glucose + 4 NAD(+) + 2 ADP + 2 Pi - - > 2 CO2 + 2 acetic acid + 4 NADH + 4 H(+) + 2 ATP + 2 H2O

B. glucose + 4 NAD(+) + 2 ADP + 2 Pi - - > CO2 + acetic acid + 2 NADH + 2 H(+) + 2 ATP + 2 H2O

C. glucose + 4 NAD(+) + 2 ADP + 2 Pi - - > 2 CO2 + 2 acetic acid + 4 NADH + 4 H(+)

D. glucose + 4 NAD(+) + ADP + Pi - - > 2 CO2 + 2 acetic acid + 4 NADH + 4 H(+) + ATP + H2O

Explanation / Answer

I'm not quite understand the question. If you want me to select one option or if you want to arrange one of them, or write another reaction.

If I have to pick I'll say option B it's the best option to do that.
