Question
If 5 molecules of glucose respired aerobically and another 5 molecules anaerobically, what is the total number of ATP and CO2 molecules expected form these reactions?
Answer: Option C
:
C
Aerobic respiration released 38 molecules of ATP and 6 molecules of CO2 for every Glucose molecule. Therefore if 5 molecules are respired, then it forms 38×5=190
ATPs and 6×5=30CO2 molecules.
During anaerobic respiration one molecule of glucose releases 2 molecules of ATP and 2 molecules of CO2 for one glucose molecule. That is a total of 10 ATPs and 10 CO2 molecules. Therefore together we get a total of 190 + 10 = 200 ATP molecules and 30 + 10 = 40 CO2 molecules.
