Can anybody tell me how do we get 32 ATPs from each glucose molecule
I can't understand the calculation and also there's two questions about it in USMLE Consult

It can be 32 and it can be 30 depending on which shuttle

in the case of 32 here's the calculation:

Glycolysis 2 ATPs/glucose
Glycolysis give 2 NADH
if NADH enters through G3P shuttle it will yield 3 ATPs
so 2x3= 6 ATPs

Each glucose gives two pyruvates
Each pyruvate entering TCA will give off 12ATPs
so 12x2 = 24

Adding
24+6+2 = 32

am sure you'll understand how malate shuttle gives 30 ATPs instead
