In aerobic respiration, total number of ATP molecules formed from 1 glucose molecule is

  • 28

  • 32

  • 36

  • 30


C.

36

The net gain from complete oxidation of a glucose molecule in aerobic respiration is 36 ATP molecules. 10 molecules of NADH, (2 from Glycolysis + 8 from Krebs' cycle) yield = 10 x 3= .30 ATP, 2 molecules of FADH, yield = 2x 2 = 4 ATP and glycolysis also yields 2 ATP. Therefore, total release of ATP per hexose will be = 30 + 4 + 2 = 36 ATP.
