How many ATP molecules are produced by aerobic oxidation of one molecule of glucose?
Options
- A2
- B4
- C38
- D34
Correct answer
C. 38
Step-by-step solution
A total of 38 molecules of ATP are produced during aerobic respiration of one molecules of glucose Summary of ATP synthesis: 8 ATP from glycolysis 6 ATP from acetyl Co-A. 24 ATP from Krebs' cycle. Related Theory One molecule of NADH yields 3 ATP, each FADH ₂ yields 2 ATP and each GTP yields 1 A T P in the ETS.
