How many total ATP molecules are made when one glucose molecule is completely oxidized?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In cellular respiration, one glucose molecule can produce a maximum of 38 ATP molecules through oxidative phosphorylation (which occurs in both the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis). This includes 2 ATP from glycolysis, 2 ATP from the Krebs cycle, and 34 ATP from oxidative phosphorylation. Therefore, the correct answer is D - 38 ATP.
