Solution

The correct option is C 19
Yeast cells acts upon glucose molecules under anaerobic conditions and yields alcohol as an end product. This process is called fermentation. One glucose molecule produces 2 ATP for yeast under anaerobic conditions, therefore, to produce 38 ATP, 19 molecules of glucose are required. Thus, option C is correct and other options are incorrect.
