In cells the net production of ATP molecules generated from one glucose molecule is

In cells the net production of ATP molecules generated from one glucose molecule is
  1. 46
  2. 32
  3. 36
  4. 40

Solution

$\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_{6}+6 \mathrm{O}_{2}+2 \mathrm{ATP} \longrightarrow$
$6 \mathrm{CO}_{2}+6 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+38 \mathrm{ATP}$
$\therefore$ Net ATP molecules evolved $=36$
