Question

what is the net gain of atp in aerobic cellular respiration? 32 36 26 34

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Aerobic cellular respiration has three main stages: glycolysis (net gain of 2 ATP), the citric acid cycle (2 ATP), and oxidative phosphorylation (about 30 ATP). Summing these gives a net gain of approximately 32 - 34 ATP. Considering the most common value taught in basic biology courses for simplicity (assuming standard textbook approximation), 32 is a frequently - cited number.

Answer:

32
