Approximately how many molecules of atp are produced from the complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose (c6h12o6) in aerobic cellular respiration?
a) 2
b) 4
c) 18-24
d) 30-32
section: 9.4

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is a process associated with the production of energy molecules in the form of ATP by oxidation of glucose molecule.

The respiration proceeds in four stages: glycolysis followed by link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain.

The oxidation of glucose begins by the glycolysis or the breakdown of the glucose molecules which produces 2 ATP molecules. The resultant then enter the link reaction, Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain which then produces many more ATP molecules and counts in 30-32 molecules.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.
