When one glucose molecule is completely oxidised, it changes

A

36 ADP molecules into 36 ATP molecules

B

38 ADP molecules into 38 ATP molecules

C

30 ADP molecules into 30 ATP molecules

D

32 ADP molecules into 32 ATP molecules

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

In aerobic respiration or biological oxidation of one glucose molecules, 38 ADP molecules change into 38 ATP molecules, where donor phophate is inorganic phosphate . ATP molecules are the energy currency of the cell, i.e., the common immediate source of energy in cellular activity.
