How much ATP is produced from 1 glucose molecule?

How much ATP is produced from 1 glucose molecule?
ATP must be produced in the mitochondria membrane. This allows protons to move through the membrane by electrical charge attraction. Processes also take place in the cytoplasm.
How Will the ATP be Produced?
A glucose molecule must go through a series of processes. It will either go through Aerobic Respiration or Anaerobic Respiration. Each process will produce different amounts of ATP.
Efficiency
Aerobic Respiration
It is a form of cellular respiration that requires oxygen in order to make energy.
Glycolysis and the Krebs Cycle are both used in this process and so is Electron transport.
The Krebs Cycle produces 2 ATP molecules, 10 Carrier Molecules + CO2 from each glucose molecule.
The Electron transport chain then produces 34 ATP molecules in exchange of H2O from the Carrier Molecules. In total aerobic respiration can produce 36-38 ATP Molecules
Compared to anaerobic respiration, aerobic is
much more efficient because in the end,
aerobic respiration produces 36-38 ATP
molecules from each molecule of glucose,
while anaerobic respiration only yeilds 2
ATP molecules per molecule of glucose.
Anaerobic Respiration
Anaerobic Respiration
Where Is ATP made?
- anaerobic respiration and aerobic respiration are similar, but anaerobic doesn't use oxygen
- it is performed in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, in the cytoplasm
- uses electron acceptors and electron transport chain(like aerobic) but without oxygen
- it yeilds 2 ATP, 2 molecules of ethanol, and 2 CO2 molecules.
- it is used by the cells of organisms is oxygen difficient enviornments.
