Question

There is a net gain of 36 ATP molecules during aerobic respiration of one molecule of glucose. elaborate the above statement and show the above calculation in respiratory balance sheet.

Answer 1

I see there are many detailed answers so I will keep this short. You are asking how you get 36 ATP from metabolizing glucose to CO2 in muscle or brain (or 38 in heart or liver). The answer is, you don’t.

Older textbooks say that you get 3 ATP from transporting 2 electrons from NADH to oxygen in mitochondria. Research has moved this number down to 2.5 ATP, and likewise 2 electrons from FADH2 used to be considered worth 2 ATP whereas now it appears to be 1.5.

So in a modern textbook you will see values of 30 ATP for glucose in muscle and brain, or 32 in heart, liver, and kidney.
