Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In skeletal muscle cells, approximately 36 molecules of ATP are produced from one molecule of glucose. This is because electrons from NADH produced during glycolysis must be shuttled through the inner mitochondrial membrane, which incurs an energy cost.

In the Skeletal Muscle Cells of Vertebrates, as Many as __________
