Question

Number of glucose molecules required to produce 38 Atp molecules under anerobic condition by a yeast cell
a) 2 (b) 1 (c) 19 (d) 38

Answer 1

in yeast 1 glucose molecule undergoes glycolysis and allied processes producing ethanol and 2 ATP molecules .

production of 38 ATP will require breakdown of 19 glucose molecules .

Answer 2

Answer: option c -19

Number of glucose molecules required to produce 38 ATP molecules of ATP under anaerobic conditions is 19. Under anaerobic conditions, 2 ATP molecules are generated per glucose which is very less in contrast to aerobic conditions where 38 ATP molecules are generated per glucose.
