Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
how many ATP are produced from the complete oxidation of eight molecules of glucose) in cellular respiration?
A
8
B
104
C
304
D
96
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is a total of 38 ATP produced.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -In total, the complete oxidation of a molecule of glucose to H2O and CO2 is used by the cell to produce about 30 molecules of ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -As each NADH is equivalent to 03 ATP and each FADH2 is equivalent to 02 ATP, total ATP molecules produced are 3 + 3×3 + 3×2 + 2 + 1 = 21 ATP.
