Detailed explanation-1: -The citric acid cycle produces 36 ATP molecules. So, in aerobic respiration, a total of 38 molecules of ATP are created, with 2 ATP molecules formed outside the mitochondria.
Detailed explanation-2: -The ATP yield for aerobic respiration ranges from 36-38 ATP while the ATP yield for anaerobic respiration is only 2 ATP per molecule of glucose.
Detailed explanation-3: -Some textbooks state that the net yield is 36 ATPs in eukaryotes because 2 ATPs are used up to power cellular respiration itself in moving 2 NADH molecules into a mitochondrian (38 ATPs-2 ATPs = 36 ATPs).
Detailed explanation-4: -In aerobic respiration, the full oxidation of one glucose molecule can theoretically yield 38 ATP molecules.
Detailed explanation-5: -When a single glucose molecule is broken down in aerobic cellular respiration, about 30-32 ATP molecules are produced within the cell. The number depends on the type of cell that we are considering.
