Question

question 7 of 10
one molecule of glucose makes 30 molecules of atp. how many molecules
of glucose are needed to make 600 molecules of atp in aerobic respiration?
a. 20
b. 360
c. 10
d. 2736

Explanation:

Step1: Set up the proportion

Let \(x\) be the number of glucose molecules. The proportion is \(\frac{1}{30}=\frac{x}{600}\)

Step2: Solve for \(x\)

Cross - multiply: \(30x = 600\). Then \(x=\frac{600}{30}=20\)

Answer:

A. 20
