Yeast are single-celled eukaryotes. So their ATP yield should be 36 per glucose, right? Question 28 of B/B on the sample test says it is 38 ATP.

Members don't see this ad.
 
It depends on shuttling electrons from cytosolic NADH into the ETC, and if cytosolic NADH gives 2.5 or 1.5 ATP. We wouldn't have to know specific numbers (3x) to answer a question, though.

One tissue might use the malate / aspartate shuttle while another may use the glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle to bring the cytosolic electrons to the ETC.
