alleryThe net theoretical ATP yield from complete aerobic respiration of one glucose molecule is
A100 ATP per glucose molecule
B38 ATP per glucose molecule
C2 ATP per glucose molecule
D15 ATP per glucose molecule
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. 38 ATP per glucose molecule
Glycolysis 8 (2 ATP + 2 NADH x 3) + Pyruvate to Acetyl CoA 6 (2 NADH x 3) + TCA 24 (6 NADH x 3 + 2 FADH2 x 2 + 2 GTP/ATP) = 38 ATP.
Real yield is lower due to NADH transport costs.
