In my textbook it says that 1 molecule of ATP and 3 molecules of NADH are made from 1 molecule of pyruvate, via the citric acid cycle. However, since the question is asking for 1 molecule of GLUCOSE, the answer would be 2 ATP and 6 NADH since the oxidation of glucose produces TWO molecules of pyruvate, the amount of ATP and NADH would have to be doubled.
I actually have this EXACT question on my exam... hmmm... do I know you by chance? o__O
Acetyl coenzyme A is produced twice from one molecule of glucose in the process of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. Each glucose molecule is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate during glycolysis, and each pyruvate molecule is converted to one molecule of acetyl CoA before entering the citric acid cycle.
The maximum number of ATP molecules that can be produced from each glucose molecule in aerobic respiration is 36-38 ATP molecules. This occurs through glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain.
During glycolysis, 2 NADH molecules are produced. During the citric acid cycle, 6 NADH molecules are produced. Therefore, a total of 8 NADH molecules are produced during the complete breakdown of one molecule of glucose.
Electron Transport Chain. It produces 32 while the citric acid cycle (your teacher might call it the Krebs Cycle) produces 2 and glycolysis produces 2 (all those numbers are per ONE GLUCOSE MOLECULE) Electron Transport Chain. It produces 32 while the citric acid cycle (your teacher might call it the Krebs Cycle) produces 2 and glycolysis produces 2 (all those numbers are per ONE GLUCOSE MOLECULE)
2. (1)glucose --> (2)Carbon dioxide + (2) Ethanol + (2) ATP aerobic on the other hand produces 38 Atp per glucose molecule. (1) glucose + (6) oxygen---> (6) oxygen + (1) water + (38) atp
Two Co2 molecules are produced per citric acid cycle. Since the citric acid cycle occurs twice with every molecule of glucose metabolized, a total of 4 C02 molecules are produces for every glucose molecule

During glycolysis, a net gain of two ATP molecules is produced per glucose molecule. In the citric acid cycle, a total of 2 ATP molecules are produced per glucose molecule. Finally, during oxidative phosphorylation, approximately 34 ATP molecules are produced per glucose molecule through the electron transport chain. This results in a total of about 38 ATP molecules gained per glucose molecule during cellular respiration.

Approximately 30-32 molecules of ATP are produced from the complete aerobic breakdown of one molecule of glucose through cellular respiration in eukaryotic cells. This process involves glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
Each glucose molecule is converted to two molecules of pyruvate through glycolysis. Each molecule of pyruvate can then be converted to 1 acetyl CoA for a total of 2 acetly groups from 1 glucose
For every molecule of glucose oxidized in the citric acid cycle, 6 molecules of carbon dioxide are produced. Glucose is a 6-carbon molecule that is completely oxidized to carbon dioxide in this cycle. Therefore, the fraction of carbon dioxide exhaled by animals that is generated by the citric acid cycle is 100%.
The maximum number of ATP per molecule of glucose is produced during the Kreb's Cycle of cellular respiration.
