Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Hence, during the complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose, 38 molecules of ATP are produced.
Detailed explanation-2: -In aerobic respiration, one molecule of glucose on complete oxidation yields a total of 38 molecules of ATP. i.e., 2 from glycolysis, 2 from the Krebs cycle, and 34 from the electron transport system.
Detailed explanation-3: -The theoretical maximum yield of ATP for the oxidation of one molecule of glucose during aerobic respiration is 38. In terms of substrate-level phosphorylation, oxidative phosphorylation, and the component pathways involved, briefly explain how this number is obtained.
