Detailed explanation-1: -The combination of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle alone yield only 4 ATP. The majority of the energy is stored in the electron carriers NADH and FADH2.
Detailed explanation-2: -Although some ATP is generated via the GTP derived from the Krebs cycle, most of the ATP generated during aerobic respiration comes from oxidative phosphorylation. The NADH and FADH generated during the Krebs cycle fuels the electron transport chain which drives this process, ultimately producing 38 molecules of ATP.
Detailed explanation-3: -It occurs in the mitochondria in the cell. The number of ATP molecules produced in the Krebs cycle is 2.
Detailed explanation-4: -Results of the Krebs Cycle After the second turn through the Krebs cycle, the original glucose molecule has been broken down completely. All six of its carbon atoms have combined with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. The energy from its chemical bonds has been stored in a total of 16 energy-carrier molecules.
Detailed explanation-5: -Hence, during the complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose, 38 molecules of ATP are produced.
