Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
how much ATP molecules is released when 1 molecule of glucose is oxidised?
A
29
B
28
C
38
D
60
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.
