Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Aerobic breakdown of glucose yields energy which is
A
2870 kJ
B
1870 kJ
C
3870 kJ
D
3370 kJ
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Summary. Aerobic respiration is far more energy-efficient than anaerobic respiration. Aerobic processes produce up to 38 ATP per glucose. Anaerobic processes yield only 2 ATP per glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Aerobic respiration About 3000 kJ mol-1 of energy is released. Burning glucose in air would release this amount of energy in one go. However, it is not as simple as this in aerobic respiration.
