The catabolism of one molecule of glucose in the muscle cells produces 32 ATP molecules.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The catabolism of one molecule of glucose in muscle cells typically produces about 30-32 ATP molecules under aerobic conditions, but the exact number can vary depending on the cell type and conditions. In many textbooks, 36-38 ATP molecules are often cited for the total yield in eukaryotic cells, but this is under ideal conditions, and recent estimates suggest a slightly lower yield due to the cost of transporting ADP into mitochondria and ATP out.
