Question

Net gain of ATP molecules, during aerobic respiration, is: (A) 30 molecules (B) 38 molecules (C) 40 molecules (D) 48 molecules

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

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.
