Complete oxidation of glucose in aerobic respiration can yield a net output of _____ATP.
Answer: C
Correct answer: 38
Complete aerobic oxidation yields about 38 ATP in the classical accounting: 4 from substrate-level phosphorylation, and the rest from reoxidising 10 NADH and 2 FADH2 through the electron transport chain. Modern measurements put the real figure nearer 30, because the proton gradient also pays for transport across the membrane.
