Hi i'm studying for the PCAT using the Princeton Review Cracking the PCAT.
In the general biology section it says that "Under aerobic conditions, therefore, the complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose produces : 30 ATP" I'm confused cause when I took microbiology I learned that in aerobic conditions prokaryotes produce 38 ATP and Eukaryotes produce 36 ATP. Can someone help me understand why the book says only 30 ATP is produced?
