Consider the stage of cellular respiration that is shown in the diagram.

A diagram shows the conversion of a glucose molecule to 2 pyruvic acid molecules. In this process, 2 A T P form 2 A D P, 2 N A D produce 2 N A D H, and 4 A D P produce 4 A T P.

What is the net ATP gain at this stage of cellular respiration?

Glycolysis uses 2 ATP but produces 4 ATP, so the net gain is 4 − 2 = 2 ATP per glucose (plus 2 NADH).
