One molecule of glucose can make either 30 or 32 molecules of ATP, depending on its passage through the cellular respiration pathways.
Glycolysis will yield either 3 or 5 ATP:
2 ATP are formed directly, and then either 1 or 3 can result from the electron carrier NADH (the other energetic product of glycolysis), depending on which shunt the NADH uses to enter the mitochondrion to feed into the electron transport chain (ETC).
If NADH enters via the more-common malate-aspartate shunt, it will generate 3 ATP total.
If it enters via the less-efficient glycerol-3-phosphate shunt (sometimes used by skeletal muscle or by the brain), it will generate only 1 ATP total.
Thus, either 3 or 5 ATP can result from glycolysis.
Pyruvate oxidation will yield 5 ATP:
2 NADH are formed per glucose (because glucose is broken down to 2 pyruvate molecules during glycolysis), each yielding about 2.5 ATP.
Acetyl-CoA oxidation in the TCA cycle will yield 20 ATP:
6 NADH are formed, yielding about 15 ATP; 2 FADH2 are formed, yielding about 3 ATP; and 2 ATP (or GTP) are formed directly, for a total of 20 ATP.
About 36 to 38 molecules of ATP per glucose molecule in oxidative phosphorylation of respiration.
38 in cardiac muscle cells and liver cells.36 other cells.
2 atp molecules
One molecule of glucose can produce 36 molecules of ATP from aerobic cellular respiration.
The energy released from cellular respiration of glucose is temporarily stored in the ATP molecules. ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate and these molecules can be used to do work in the cell.
Photosynthesis makes glucose molecules, but cellular respiration breaks them down.
The process of cellular respiration produces 6CO2 molecules and 6H2O molecules per glucose molecule. Between 32 and 36 ATP are also produced by the cycle; these ATP are used as the cell's primary source of energy.
Cellular respiration uses one molecule of glucose to produce what?
2 atp molecules
Biology textbooks often state that 38 ATP molecules can be made per oxidized glucose molecule during cellular respiration (2 from glycolysis, 2 from the Krebs cycle, and about 34 from the electron transport system).
36 ATP molecules can be produced from a single molecule of glucose through the complete process of cellular respiration.
36 ATP molecules can be produced from a single molecule of glucose through the complete process of cellular respiration.
One molecule of glucose can produce 36 molecules of ATP from aerobic cellular respiration.

Glucose and oxygen begin the process of respiration.
It means that when one molecule of glucose is completely broken down by the process of aerobic cellular respiration, 38 molecules of ATP are produced.
