Question:
How many ATP molecules could maximally be generated from onemolecule of glucose, if the complete oxidation of 1 mole of glucoseto CO2 and H2O yields 686 kcal of free energyand the useful chemical energy available in the high-energyphosphate bond of 1 mole of ATP is 12 kcal? 1 point
(686 kcal/12 kcal) = 57 ATP molecules could bemaximally generated from one molecule of glucose.
8. Respiration produces 30 moles of ATP from 1 mole ofglucose. Compare this number with your answer above and determinethe overall efficiency of ATP production from glucose.
