Detailed explanation-1: -As a result, the net ATP produced by the complete oxidation of one mole of glucose is 38 ATP.
Detailed explanation-2: -Electron transport from the molecules of NADH and FADH2 made from glycolysis, the transformation of pyruvate, and the Krebs cycle creates as many as 32 more ATP molecules. Therefore, a total of up to 36 molecules of ATP can be made from just one molecule of glucose in the process of cellular respiration.
Detailed explanation-3: -Complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose results in the production of the equivalent of 38 molecules of ATP. This results in the production of 38 molecules of water, because formation of the phosphodiester bond between ADP and inorganic phosphate involves the splitting off of a molecule of water.
