Question

Out of 36 ATP molecules produced per glucose molecule during respiration

• A. 2 are produced outside glycolysis and 34 during respiratory chain
• B. 2 are produced outside mitochondria and 34 inside mitochondria
• C. 2 during glycolysis and 34 during Krebs cycle
• D. all are formed inside mitochondria.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

2 are produced outside mitochondria and 34 inside mitochondria

Answer 2

2 ATP from glycolysis which takes place in the cytoplasm and other cellular respiration processes takes place in mitochondria which gives 34 ATP. So, the correct option is '2 are produced outside mitochondria and 34 inside mitochondria.'
