- B4
- C24
- D36
Correct answer
D. 36
Step-by-step solution
There is a total gain of 38 ATP molecules during aerobic respiration of one molecules of glucose. Out of these two molecules of ATP are required for transporting the NADH produced in glycolysis (in cytoplasm) into the mitochondria for further oxidation, hence the net gain of ATP is 36 molecules.
