Aerobic respiration results in how much ATP?
Correct answer: B. 36
- A. 2
- B. 36
- C. 18
- D. 32
Explanation
In eukaryotic cells, aerobic respiration typically results in a net gain of approximately 36 ATP molecules per molecule of glucose. This energy yield is a sum of ATP produced during glycolysis, the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle), and oxidative phosphorylation in the electron transport chain.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
