    How many ATP are formed by oxidation of one glucose molecule in liver cells?

    A)  36                         

    B)         38

    C)  2                            

    D)         8

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    In liver cells and prokaryotic cells, 38 ATP are produced by the complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose. Glycolysis 2 ATP directly= 2 ATP 2 mol. of NADH                 = 6 ATP Pyruvic acid to Acetyl Co- A 2 mol. of NADH       = 6 ATP Citric acid 6 mol. of NADH                            = 18 ATP cycle 2mol.of FADH                    = 4 ATP mol. of GTP        = 2 ATP Total                                      = 38 ATP
