Question

The number of ATP produced during cellular respiration from one glucose molecule is

Answer 1

38

Step-by-step explanation:

38 ATP molecules can be made per oxidised glucose molecule during cellular respiration (2 from glycolysis, 2 from the Krebs cycle, and about 34 from the electron transport system).

Answer 2

The number of ATP formed during cellular respiration from 1 glucose molecule is 38.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cellular respiration can be divided to 4 stages while ATP is released in 3 of the 4 total stages.

2 number of ATPs are developed in first stage called Glycolysis, 4 more are created in the third stage named Kerb's cycle while no ATPs are formed in the second stage called Transition stage and 32 are formed in the final stage called Electron Transport Chain (ETC).

Hence in total, 2+4+32 = 38 number of ATPs are released during cellular respiration of one Glucose molecule.
