Question

How many ATPs are produced in aerobic respiration?

Answer 1

Aerobic respiration:

1. In aerobic respiration, the full oxidation of one glucose molecule can theoretically yield 38 ATP molecules.
2. This is only an assumption because all of the routes are active at the same time, i.e., ATP and carbohydrates are used as necessary, and enzyme activity is controlled by various factors.
3. Cell respiration is the process by which organisms transform glucose into a form that the cell may use as energy.
4. ATP is the primary energy carrier in living organisms (adenosine triphosphate).
