Hey, so I have a question from one of the Kaplan practise tests:
One molecule of glucose is catabolized via cellular respiration. How many molecules of ATP are produced by oxidative phosphorylation?
a)2
b)4
c)34
d)36
e)40
Originally I thought the answer was D, but the book says C and here is the explanation:
C - 32 ATP are produced by the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation. Ultimately, 1 molecule of glucose will be catalyzed to produce 36 ATP (32 from oxidative phosphorylation, 2 from the citric acid cycle, 2 from glycolysis).
What?? No idea where they are getting 34 out of this explanation... any help would greatly be appreciated!! Thanks!
