Question

How many ATP molecules will be generated in a plant system during complete oxidation of $40$ molecules of glucose?

• A. $180$
• B. $360$
• C. $1440$
• D. $3040$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$1440$

$36$ ATP molecules are produced during complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose.
So, $40$ molecules of glucose will produce $(36\times 40)ATP=1440$ ATP.

So the correct option is C.
