What are the max numberof APT molecules that may be produced from a molecule of glucose by aerobicresperation?
Answer:
The balanced reaction is :
C6H12O6 + 2ATP + 2Pi +2NAD+ >>
>> 2 CH3COO_ + 2ATP + 2 NADH + 2 H+ + 2 H2O
so from 1 molecule of glucose we get 2 ATP molecules
ATP (adenosine triphosphate), 38 are produced, 2 are used to kickstart the process, so a net of 36. If you are answering a question on the SAT, see if the question refers to total ATP or net ATP, they are probably looking for the number 38.
