Aerobic respiration of one glucose molecule yields about

1. The chapter states one mole of glucose gives 38 molecules of ATP on full oxidation. 2. Anaerobic respiration gives only 2 ATP. 3. The aerobic figure is much higher because oxygen completes the breakdown. 4. So option A is correct. _Source: Selina Concise Biology Class 9, Ch 7 Respiration in Plants (Mistral OCR'd PDF), section 7.1 ATP yield_
