5 Glucose molecules aerobically respired and another 5 anaerobically. What will be the total no. of ATP and CO2 evolved?

Question

5 Glucose molecules aerobically respired and another 5 anaerobically. What will be the total no. of ATP and CO2 evolved? (A) 180 and 10 respectively (B) 10 and 180 respectively (C) 36 and 2 respectively (D) 2 and 36 respectively

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Anaerobic respiration makes a total of 2 ATP. Aerobic respiration is much more efficient and can produce up to 38 ATP with a single molecule of glucose.

C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} ⟶ 6 C O_{2} + 6 H_{2} O + 6 O_{2} + 38 A TP

Anaerobic respiration

C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} \to 2

Ethyl alcohol

+ 2 C O_{2} + 2

A TP

(as in yeast)
