Question

How many molecules of ATP are generated at the end of an aerobic respiration involving 2 molecules of glucose?

1)38 ATP

2)76 ATP

3)4 ATP

4)12 ATP

Answer 1

Answer:

In aerobic conditions, the process converts one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate (pyruvic acid), generating energy in the form of two net molecules of ATP. Four molecules of ATP per glucose are actually produced, however, two are consumed as part of the preparatory phase.
