Q. How many ATP molecules will be generated in a plant system during complete oxidation of 40 moles of glucose?

WBJEEWBJEE 2012Respiration in Plants

Solution:

Breakdown (complete oxidation) of one molecule of glucose by aerobic respiration produces 38 ATP molecules. So, complete oxidation of 40 molecules of glucose will produce. $ 40\times 38\,ATP=1520ATP $ molecules.
