How many molecules of ATP are obtained by the respiration of one molecule of glucose ?

A

4

B

36

C

38

D

2

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Glycolysis is the first step of glucose breakdown which takes place in the absence of oxygen and converts one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate. • During thisprocess, 4 molecules of ATP are produced and 2 molecules of ATP are consumed. . Thus,net ATP production is 2 ATP.
