Detailed explanation-1: -Hence, during the complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose, 38 molecules of ATP are 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: -This process occurs through the breakdown of one molecule of glucose. Here the ATP molecules first form in the cytoplasm through glycolysis and then it is moved to the inner mitochondrial membranes where it produces 36 ATP molecules. Thus, the total ATP molecules produced are 38.
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.
