Glycolysis followed aerobic respiration is ________ times more efficient than glycolysis and fermentation because of the increase in the net number of ATP produced.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glycolysis followed by aerobic respiration produces approximately 36-38 ATP molecules per glucose molecule, whereas glycolysis followed by fermentation produces only about 2 ATP molecules. Therefore, aerobic respiration is about 19 times more efficient than fermentation.
