Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The majority of ATP synthesis occurs in cellular respiration within the mitochondrial matrix: generating approximately thirty-two ATP molecules per molecule of glucose that is oxidized.
Detailed explanation-2: -This process is called fermentation. One glucose molecule produces 2 ATP for yeast under anaerobic conditions, therefore, to produce 38 ATP, 19 molecules of glucose are required.
