Q. Net gain of ATP molecules, during aerobic respiration, is:

VMMC MedicalVMMC Medical 2003

Solution:

38 ATP molecules are yielded during aerobic respiration of glucose but in most eukaryotic cells, 2ATP molecules are expended in transporting, 2NADH molecules produced in glycolysis to the mitochondria. In such a cell there is a net gain of 36ATP molecules instead of 38.
