One molecule of glucose makes 30 molecules of atp. how many molecules of glucose are needed to make 600 molecules of atp in aerobic respiration?
a. 360
b. 20
c. 10
d. 2736

B. 20

Explanation:

Considering that the final energy balance of aerobic respiration is 30 ATP using a single glucose molecule, to find the number of glucose molecules needed to produce 600 ATP, we calculate as follows:

Simply divide the number of ATP molecules (600) specified in the question, by the number of ATP produced with a single glucose molecule(30), thus:

It takes 20 glucose molecules to produce 600 ATP molecules.
