Question
How many ATP molecules will be generated in a plant system . during complete oxidation of 40 moles of glucose?
190
380
1520
3040
Solution
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.
