Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the total amount of ATP that is produced from anaerobic respiration?
A
2 ATP From Glycolysis/ 0 ATP from Fermentation
B
0 ATP total
C
4 ATP from Glycolysis/ 0 ATP from Krebs Cycle
D
400 ATP from Anaerobic Respiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anaerobic respiration results in the production of 2 ATP molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anaerobic glycolysis produces 2 ATP molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -One glucose molecule yields four ATP molecules in total during glycolysis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glycolysis and fermentation make only 2 ATPs while full cellular respiration makes 38 ATPs.

Detailed explanation-5: -Without oxygen, some human cells must use fermentation to produce ATP, and this process produces only two molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose.
