Question

MARKING AS BRAINLIEST!!!


Using the table in below, what is the total net gain of ATP molecules per glucose molecules?


A.) 2


B.) 34


C.) 36


D.) 38

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The number of ATPs formed in the Krebs Cycle is 34 while in Glycolysis is 4. Adding the two result in 38 ATPs. However, remember that Glycolsysis takes up an initial 2 ATPs before the 4 are produced. The net ATP production in glycolysis is, therefore (4 – 2) = 2 ATPs. The overall net production of ATPs in aerobic cellular respiration is therefore 36 ATPs.

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is C.)36
