You'll need to know how many acetyl-CoA can be obtained from glycerol. I'd imagine it's 1 because glycerol gets converted into pyruvate, which later becomes acetyl-Coa.







Once the acetyl-Coa is made, it goes into the citric acid cycle




 Step

 ATP produced

 1

Step 4 (NAD+ to E.T.C.)

Step 6 (NAD+ to E.T.C.) 

 3

Step10 (NAD+ to E.T.C.)

 3

Step 8 (FAD to E.T.C.)

 NET

12 ATP
