NEET Biology question
How many ATP molecules could maximally be generated from one molecule of glucose, if the complete oxidation of one mole of glucose to carbon dioxide and water yields 686 kcal and the useful chemical energy available in the high energy phosphate bond of one mole of ATP is 12 kcal?
Answer: (C)
Solution
Maximum possible number of ATP = total energy released ÷ energy captured per ATP = 686 kcal ÷ 12 kcal ≈
