Solution
The correct option is C 380
On complete combustion of glucose (1 mole) to CO2 & H2O, approx. 686 kcal of energy is released. When 1 g of glucose respires aerobically by ETS, Glycolysis and Krebs cycle, around 38 ATP molecules are generated. The terminal group of a mole of ATP has around 10 kcal. Thus, 38 ATP molecules represent a yield of 380 kcal of energy. So the correct option is '380'
