Question

Estimate the efficiency of aerobic cellular respiration of a molecule of glucose:

a. energy of formation of atp from adp: ~ + 57 kj/mol

b. energy of combustion of glucose: ~ - 2805 kj/mol

Answer 1

The estimate efficiency of aerobic cellular respiration of a molecule of glucose is energy of formation of atp from adp: ~ + 57 kj/mol. In Addition the aerobic cellular respiration uses oxygen and yields many more ATP molecules than anaerobic cellular and yields only two ATP molecules.
