Hey guys, should i use the old 38 ATP value stressed by Gold Standard or the New ATP value of 32/glucose stressed by TPR? Does anyone know which value is actually used on the real MCAT?

Thanks for the reply 🙂

They will not explicitly ask this unless it was hinted in the passage. This has been discussed several times and I would suggest that you should do a search. Second I think you mean 36 vs. 32 ATP in eukaryotes. (38 are for prokayotes and do not correspond with 32)
