Q. In yeast during anaerobic respiration, how many glucose molecules are required for production of 38 ATP molecules?
A) 1
B) 2
C) 19
D) 38
Explanation
Anaerobic respiration occurs in absence of oxygen. It is found in deep-seated tissues of plants and animals, germinating seeds, yeasts and bacteria. During anaerobic respiration of yeast, two ATP produced from each glucose molecule. Hence, 38 ATP will produce from 19 glucose molecules.
