Dear student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query
The respiratory balance sheet of aerobic respiration of one molecule of glucose can be explained as under:
ETS helps to release and utilise the energy stored in NADH2 and FADH2 synthesised above and converts them to ATPs. During ETS, the number of ATP produced depends on the nature of electron donor. In this reaction, the NADH gives 3 molecules of ATP while the FADH2 give two molecules of ATP.
Hence, the net gain of 38ATP molecules occurs during aerobic respiration of one molecule of glucose.
Hope this information will clear your doubts about the balance sheet of ATP production during aerobic respiration of glucose.

The respiratory balance sheet of aerobic respiration of one molecule of glucose can be explained as under:
Step | No. of ATP produced |
Glycolysis | 2NADH2= 2 x 3 = 6ATP 2ATP (Substrate level) Total = 8ATP |
Linking reaction Pyruvate to Acetyl coenzyme A |
2NADH2= 2 x 3=6 ATP |
Kreb's cycle | 6NADH 2= 6 x 3=18ATP 2FADH= 2 x 2=4ATP 2ATP (Substrate level) Total= 24ATP |
Total of all steps | 8+6+24= 38ATP |
