Approximately how many molecules of ATP are produced from the complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose C₆H₁₂O₆ in aerobic cellular respiration? (A) 2 (B) 4 (C) 18-24 (D) 30-32

Respuesta :

Approximately (D) 30-32 molecules of ATP are produced from the complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) in aerobic cellular respiration.

Oxidation is the chemical reaction in which the oxidation state of the substance increases, which happens by the loss of electrons from the substance.

Cellular respiration is the process of gaining energy from the food that an organism intake along with the oxygen. The complete respiration is a series of processes to breakdown the glucose completely to yield maximum of energy in the form of ATP. The first process is glycolysis which yields about 6 ATP, next is the oxidation of pyruvate that also releases about 6 ATP and the TCA cycle yields a maximum of about 24 ATP.
