In the oxidation of one molecule of glucose during respiration, 36 molecules of ATP are liberated as follows:

Correct answer: C. 2 ATP molecules during glycolysis 2 in krebs cycle and 32 ATP during respiratory chain

  • A. All 36 ATP molecules inside the mitochondria
  • B. 2 ATP molecules during glycolysis and 34 ATP during the Krebs cycle
  • C. 2 ATP molecules during glycolysis 2 in krebs cycle and 32 ATP during respiratory chain
  • D. 2 ATP molecules outside the mitochondria and 34 ATP molecules inside the mitochondria

Explanation

Glycolysis produces 2 ATP in the cytoplasm, and the electron transport chain, along with chemiosmosis, generates approximately 34 ATP in the mitochondria.
