Theoretically NADH produces a maximum of 3 ATPs and FADH2 produces a maximum of 2 ATPs. However in reality the numbers are closer to 2.5 and 1.5 respectively due to protons leaking across the inner membrane.

The maximum amount of ATP produced from a single molecule of fermented glucose is 2. There are four moles of ethanol and four moles of carbon dioxide also produced.

What is the maximum effiency of aerobic repiration?

36-38 molecules of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) are produced from one molecule of glucose during aerobic respiration. 32-34 molecules of ATP are produced from the electron transport chain. Glycolysis produces 2 molecules of ATP. The Krebs cycle produces 2 molecules of ATP.


Can I use your glucose if it is already stored for 5 years?

Glucose is a high energy molecule and it can be fermented by many types of bacteria to low energy molecules.Only and only, if glucose is stored in food grade container, in cool and dry place, then only it can be used. If the quantity is less discard it and if quantity is large enough, then take expert opinion. But most of the countries make it a rule to put, the expiry of food products and drugs to maximum five years. Then you cannot help it but to discard the glucose. So according to law, in many countries, low energy compounds like distilled water, Sodium chloride and potassium chloride get EXPIRED.

What stage of cellular respiration yields to the most ATP?

NADH. In oxidative phosphorylation, for every NADH, around 2.5 ATP molecules are made, and for every FADH2 about 1.5 ATP molecules are made.


How is ATP made in the cellular respiration process?

It is a very long and detailed process. Generally one glucose molecule gives 38 or 36 ATPs during aerobic respiration. While during anaerobic respiration only 2 ATPs are formed from single glucose molecule. The ATP formation in respiration starts with glycolysis, in which one glucose molecule breaks into 2 pyruvic acid molecule. Then the pyruvic acid is converted to acetyl coA. This acetyl coA enters the Krebs cycle. Finally the NADH2 and FADH2 obtained during Krebs cycle go to electron transfer chain in which maximum ATPs are generated. This is applicable to aerobic respiration. In anaerobic respiration the pyruvic acid is reduced to alcohol and carbondioxide.

Explain why most eukaryotic cells produce fewer than 38 the maximum number possible ATP molecules for every glucose molecule that is oxidized by cellular respiration?

The maximum number of ATP possibly produced is 38 but it is often not reached due to losses (leaky membranes) as well as the cost of moving pyruvate and ADP into the mitochondrial matrix. It is estimated that 29-30 ATP are produced per glucose.
