Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the energy yield of one molecule of glucose during aerobic respiration?
  • Step 1: Understand that glucose is a type of sugar that cells use for energy.
  • Step 2: Know that aerobic respiration is a process that uses oxygen to break down glucose.
  • Step 3: Realize that during this process, glucose is completely oxidized, meaning it is fully broken down.
  • Step 4: Learn that the breakdown of one molecule of glucose produces energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
  • Step 5: Find out that the total amount of ATP produced from one glucose molecule during aerobic respiration is about 30 to 32 ATP.
