cellular respiration uses one glucose molecule to produce a total of

A. 28 ATP
B. 36 ATP
C. 2 ATP
D. 24 ATP

1 answer

Cellular respiration typically produces a total of approximately 36 ATP molecules from one molecule of glucose. Thus, the correct answer is:

B. 36 ATP

However, it's worth noting that this number can vary based on the specific conditions and efficiency of the process. Some references might state a range (usually between 30 to 38 ATP), but 36 is a commonly cited figure in educational contexts.
