Question

How many ATP molecules produced by Aerobic oxidation of one molecule of glucose: - (A) 2 (B) 4 (C) 36 (D) 38

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

During Cellular Respiration, sugar is broken down to

C O_{2}

and

H_{2} O

, and in the process, ATP is made that can then be used for cellular work. The overall reaction for cellular respiration:

C 6 H_{12} O 6 + 6 O 2 \dots 6 CO 2 + 6 H_{2} O + \sim 38 ATP
