What is the net ATP for this reaction per ribose amount made

What is the net ATP for this reaction, per ribose (amount made minus the amount utilized)? Note that xylulose 5-phosphate is split and the resulting products travel both pathways simultaneously Ribose 5C ATP ADP Ribose 5.phosphate Xylulose 5-phosphate 5C 20 3C Acetyl phosphate Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate NAD PO 4 8 NADH ADP ADP ATP 10 ATP ADP 11 NS ATP Acetate Pyruvate Answer: 5

Solution

The net ATP produced is 6.

Answer - Option A - 7. In this step NADPH is produced which enters through electron transport chain.
