100g sugar = 1619KJ of energy (according to Wikipedia)

--> 1g sugar = 16.19KJ

[1ATP]/[50KJ] * [16.19KJ]/[1 g sugar] = .3238[ATP]/[g sugar]

-->3.08[g sugar]/[ATP]

3.08[g sugar]/[ATP] * 38ATP = 117g sugar for 38 ATP

Is dexoyribose sugar part of ATP molecule?

Normally, no. ATP is composed of adenosine, a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups. However, when ATP is used for DNA synthesis, the ribose sugar is converted to deoxyribose.

How many molecules of glucose are needed to make 300 molecules of ATP in aerobic respiration?

One molecule of glucose will produce 38 molecules of ATP. This means that 300/38 molecules of glucose are needed, or 8, which will make 304 ATP molecules.


What has more energy ATP or sugar?

One molecule of glucose yields ~ 38 ATP, so sugar has much more energy tied up in its bonds than one ATP.
