The net gain of ATP molecules in glycolysis during aerobic respiration is

A

36 molecules

B

38 molecules

C

40 molecules

D

48 molecules

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
During aerobic respiration, 38 ATP molecules are gained. If specifically aerobic respiration in eukaryote is asked, then the answer would be 36 ATP because 2 ATP molecules are produced by `FADH_(2)` which accepts the `H^(+)` from 2 NADH moleucles produced in glycolysis.
