Solution

The correct option is D 36
Metobolic conversion of one mole of glucose to CO2 and H2O is accompanied by conversion of 36 mole of ADP to ATP. Glucose is the most commonly used carbohydrate. Cellular respiration requires oxygen to serve as the final electron acceptor, in a series of redox reactions that generate ATP by oxidative phosphorylation. This is the most efficient method of ATP production (1 glucose generates 36 ATP) and involves several reactions performed inside the mitochondria.
