How many ATP molecules could maximally be generated from one molecule of glucose, if the complete oxidation of one mole of glucose to CO2 and H2O yields 686 kcal and the useful chemical energy available in the high energy phosphate bond of one mole of ATP is 12 kcal?
-
- Thirty
- Fifty -seven
- One
- Two
Correct Option: B
12 kcal of energy present in one molecule of ATP & on oxidation of one mole of glucose into CO2 and H2O energy released is 686 kcal. So no. of ATP which can store this energy would be = 57.1 = 57 ATPs.
