How many ATP molecules will be generated in a plant system . during complete oxidation of 40 moles of glucose?

  • 190

  • 380

  • 1520

  • 3040

Answer

C.

1520

Breakdown (complete oxidation) of one molecule of glucose by aerobic respiration produces 38 ATP molecules. So, complete oxidation of 40 molecules of glucose will produce.

40 x 38 ATP = 1520 ATP molecules.
