Question

Energy capture efficiency of aerobic cells using glucose as a substrate is 40 percent

Answer 1

Aerobic cell respiration (glycolysis + the Krebs cycle + respiratory electron transport) produces 36 ATP/glucose consumed. ... Overall, aerobic respiration converts about 40% of the available energy of glucose into ATP. The remaining 60% is lost as heat and helps to generate your relatively high body temperature.
