How many ATP molecules could maximally be generated from one molecule of glucose, if the complete oxidation of one mole of glucose to `CO_(2)` and `H_(2)O` yields 686 kcal and the useful chemical energy available in the high energy phosphate bond of one mole of ATP is 12 kcal

A

30

B

57

C

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
One mole of ATP liberates 12 kcal of energy so 686 kcal will be liberated by 686/12 =57.1 ATP molecules
