Botany - Respiration in Plants Question with Solution | TestHub

Sucrose is a disaccharide having one glucose and one fructose.

1 pyruvic acid in Kreb's cycle produces 12 ATP. One glucose molecule produces 2 pyruvate molecules in glycolysis. Fructose also enters glycolysis by forming fructose1,6 diphosphate. Therefore there will be two pyruvates from glucose and two from fructose, and each cycle producing 12 ATP. Therefore$12\times 4=48$ATP.
