Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How many ATP are produced in aerobic respiration?
A
2
B
28
C
4
D
36
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The theoretical maximum yield of ATP for the oxidation of one molecule of glucose during aerobic respiration is 38.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Cellular respiration produces 36 total ATP per molecule of glucose across three stages. We can describe each stage’s ATP production. The first stage, glycolysis, occurs in the cytosol and nets 2 ATP when splitting the six carbon glucose into two three-carbon fragments.

Detailed explanation-4: -One glucose molecule is metabolised to yield 38 ATP molecules during cellular respiration. The electron transport system produces 34 molecules of ATP out of a total of 38 molecules. During glycolysis, two ATP molecules are created inside the mitochondria and two ATP molecules are produced outside the mitochondria.
