Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cellular respiration uses 1 molecule of glucose to produce approximately
A
2 ATP
B
4 ATP
C
32 ATP
D
36 ATP
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Electron transport from the molecules of NADH and FADH2 made from glycolysis, the transformation of pyruvate, and the Krebs cycle creates as many as 32 more ATP molecules. Therefore, a total of up to 36 molecules of ATP can be made from just one molecule of glucose in the process of cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration produces 36 total ATP per molecule of glucose across three stages. We can describe each stage’s ATP production.

Detailed explanation-3: -2 ATP is generated by glycolysis in the cytoplasm, and 34 ATP is produced by other cellular respiration processes in the mitochondria. ‘2 are produced outside mitochondria and 34 are produced within mitochondria. ‘ Therefore the correct answer is option ‘B’.

Detailed explanation-4: -In a eukaryotic cell, the process of cellular respiration can metabolize one molecule of glucose into 30 to 32 ATP.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that uses glucose to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), an organic compound the body can use for energy. One molecule of glucose can produce a net of 30-32 ATP.
