Question

true or false: aerobic respiration supplies the highest atp yield per glucose molecule

Answer 1

True. Aerobic respiration yields the highest amount of ATP per glucose molecule compared to other processes, such as anaerobic respiration or fermentation. In aerobic respiration, approximately 30 to 32 ATP molecules can be produced from one molecule of glucose, depending on the efficiency of the electron transport chain and the shuttle systems used to transport reducing equivalents into the mitochondria.
