Oxidation of an amino acid via the citric acid cycle yields just as much atp as oxidation of glucose.

true or false

The above statement is true.

Explanation:

During the oxidation of an amino acid through the Citric acid cycle or the Kreb’s cycle produces 2 ATP. Through oxidation of Glucose also 2 ATP molecules are obtained.

In the citric acid cycle the acetate is consumed along with water and the NAD+ is reduced to NADH with carbon dioxide as its waste product and stored in the form of chemical energy as two molecules of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP).  In oxidation of glucose through glycolysis without the use of Oxygen 2 molecules of ATP is produced.
