ATP produced through oxidative phosphorylation of one glucose molecule are 34 in number(Glycolysis 2 NADH, link reaction 2 NADH, Krebs' cycle 6 NADH and 2 FADH2). ATP produced through substrate level phosphorylation are 6 in number (Glycolysis 4, Krebs' cycle 2).

Note: 1 NADH+H+ = 3 ATP and 1 FADH2 = 2 ATP
