Detailed explanation-1: -Hence, during the complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose, 38 molecules of ATP are produced.
Detailed explanation-2: -succinic dehydrogenase. The total number of ATP generated by the breakdown of glucose is 38, but the net number of ATP generated is: 2.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -In eukaryotic cells, the theoretical maximum yield of ATP generated per glucose is 36 to 38, depending on how the 2 NADH generated in the cytoplasm during glycolysis enter the mitochondria and whether the resulting yield is 2 or 3 ATP per NADH.
Detailed explanation-5: -In a eukaryotic cell, the process of cellular respiration can metabolize one molecule of glucose into 30 to 32 ATP.
