During cellular respiration, the conversion of glucose results in an overall production of how many molecules of ATP?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In cellular respiration, 32-36 molecules are produced for every molecule of glucose consumed. Here is a breakdown of when/where each molecule of ATP is created:
Step 1. Glycolysis: two molecules of ATP produced
Step 2. Krebs cycle: two molecules of ATP produced
Step 3. electron transport chain: 28 to 32 molecules of ATP produced
2 + 2 + 28 = 32
or
2 + 2 + 32 = 36
