Question
In yeast, ethanol is produced from glucose under anaerobic conditions. What is the maximum amount of ethanol (in millimoles) that could theoretically be produced under the following conditions? A cell-free yeast extract is placed in a solution that contains 3.50 102 mmol glucose, 0.40 mmol ADP, 0.40 mmol Pi, 0.80 mmol ATP, 0.20 mmol NAD , and 0.20 mmol NADH.It is kept under anaerobic conditions.
____________mmol.
