For each molecule of glucose that is completely oxidized, how many ATP molecules are produced?
A) 2
B) 4
C) 25

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose through glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation typically yields about 32 ATP molecules. This includes 2 ATP from glycolysis, 2 ATP from the Krebs cycle, and about 28 ATP from the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation, depending on the efficiency of the cell's ATP production mechanisms.
