Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How many ATP molecules are synthesized from 4 ADP molecules?
A
2
B
4
C
6
D
1
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the process of glycolysis, four ATP molecules are synthesized from four ADP molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -24 ATP, 36 NADPH, 12 Calvin cycles.

Detailed explanation-3: -On the complete breakdown, each glucose molecule releases 36 ATP. Cellular respiration occurs in three basic steps: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle), and the electron transport chain. In glycolysis production of 2 ATP is produced through substrate-level phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-4: -2 ATP molecules are directly synthesised from one molecule of glucose in glycolysis.
