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.
