Generally it is said that, 36 ATP are produced for oxidation of 1 molecule of glucose (during Aerobic respiration).But, in 2017 edtion of NCERT biology 11th class(pg no-234) it is given that 38 ATP are produced. Can anyone explain how 38 ATP are produced during areobic respiration.?

I mean in which process?& reaction too..

Oxidation of of palmitic acid yields 7 NADH + 7 FADH2 + 8 acetyl-CoA in 7 cycles of mitochondrial beta oxidation. Every acetyl-CoA yields 3 NADH + 1 FADH2 + 1 GTP (=ATP) during Krebs cycle. Considering an average production of 3 ATP/NADH and 2 ATP/FADH2 using the respiratory chain, you have 131 ATP molecules. However you have to used 2 ATP molecules for the initial activation of every fatty acid that is going to be oxidized in the mitochondria.
see I know it is quite a lot complicated ....Honestly I also forgot about it so I copied it from my last years bio copy ....
