In the oxidation of one molecule of glucose during respiration, 36 molecules of ATP are liberated as follows:
Correct answer: C. 2 ATP molecules during glycolysis 2 in krebs cycle and 32 ATP during respiratory chain
- A. All 36 ATP molecules inside the mitochondria
- B. 2 ATP molecules during glycolysis and 34 ATP during the Krebs cycle
- C. 2 ATP molecules during glycolysis 2 in krebs cycle and 32 ATP during respiratory chain
- D. 2 ATP molecules outside the mitochondria and 34 ATP molecules inside the mitochondria
Explanation
Glycolysis produces 2 ATP in the cytoplasm, and the electron transport chain, along with chemiosmosis, generates approximately 34 ATP in the mitochondria.
