Question

How many ATP molecules are produced by anaerobic oxidation of one molecule of Glucose?

• A. 2
• B. 4
• C. 38
• D. 34

Answer 1

The correct option is A 2

• Respiration that occurs in the absence of Oxygen is called Anaerobic respiration and it takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell.
• In this process, per glucose molecule, 4 molecules of ATP are produced but 2 are used up in Glycolysis and therefore the net gain remains at only 2 ATP molecules.

So, the correct answer is '2'
