Detailed Solution
During aerobic breakdown of a molecule of Glucose, the number of ATP formed in various stages of respiration is Glycolsis : Formation : 4 ATP Usage : 2 ATP Net gain : 2 ATPKrebs cycle : 2 ATPOxidative phosphorylation due to electron transport system : 34 ATP (oxidation of 10 NADH and 2 FADH2)Net gain = 2 ATP + 2 ATP + 34 ATP = 38 ATP
