Solution

The correct option is C 35 ATP
In HMP shunt, 12 pairs of hydrogen atoms are eventually transferred to oxygen yielding 12*3=36 ATP. Of this, 1 ATP is used in converting one molecule of free glucose-6 phosphate. Hence, the net yield is 35 ATP which compares well with 38 ATP obtainable from glycolysis and TCA cycle.
