Solution
After complete oxidation of a glucose molecules, 38 number of ATP molecules are formed.
Explanation:
We need energy to work through the day; similarly, each cell of our body needs energy to survive. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells fulfil their energy needs in the form of ATP. ATP is the energy currency in the cell. In cellular respiration, glucose molecules are broken down (oxidised) in the presence of oxygen. In a complete breakdown, each glucose molecule releases 38 ATP molecules.
