Q. In aerobic respiration, how many times more ATP is produced than anaerobic respiration?

Solution:

In aerobic respiration during complete oxidation of one glucose molecule, 38 ATP are produced. However, in anaerobic respiration, only 2 ATP are produced. Thus, in aerobic respiration, 19 times more ATP is produced than in anaerobic respiration.
