How many ATP molecules could maximally be generated from one molecule of glucose, if the complete oxidation of one mole of glucose to CO2\mathrm{CO}_2 and H2O\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} yields 686kcal686 \mathrm{kcal} and the useful chemical energy available in the high energy phosphate bond of one mole of ATP is 12kcal12 \mathrm{kcal} ?

Options

  1. A1
  2. B2
  3. C30
  4. D57

Correct answer

D. 57

Step-by-step solution

Complete oxidation of one mole of glucose yields =686kcal=686 \mathrm{kcal}. Chemical energy available in high energy phosphate bonds of one mole of ATP=12\mathrm{ATP}=12 ATP ATP molecules maximally generated from one molecule of glucose = 686/12=57686 / 12=57 ATP molecules.
