Question

Out of 38 molecules of atp produced after aerobic respiration of glucose, the break up in atp production in glycolysis (p), pyruvic acid to acetyl coa formation (q) and krebs cycle (r) is p = 2, q = 6, r= 30 p = 8, q = 6, r = 24 p = 8, q = 10, r = 20 p = 2, q = 12, r = 24

Answer 1

This potential is then used to drive ATP synthase and produce ATP from ADP and a phosphate group. Biology textbooks often state that 38 ATP molecules can be made per oxidised glucose molecule during cellular respiration (2 from glycolysis, 2 from the Krebs cycle, and about 34 from the electron transport system).
