Question

Glucose + 6 $O_2$ and 38 ADP combined to form $6H_{2}O$, $6O_2$ and

• A. 38 ATP
• B. 18 ATP
• C. 36 ATP
• D. 28 ATP

Answer 1

The correct option is A 38 ATP

The process is known as aerobic respiration and is carried out in the presence of oxygen by three steps glycolysis, Kreb's cycle and electron transport chain which yields carbon dioxide, water and total 38 molecules of Adenosine Triphosphate which is an energy currency of the cell.

So the correct option is '38 ATP'.
