    How many ATP molecules could maximally be generated from one molecule of glucose, if the complete oxidation of one mole of glucose to \[C{{O}_{2}}\]and\[{{H}_{2}}O\]yields 686 kcal and the useful chemical energy available in the high energy phosphate bond of one mole of ATP is 12 kcal?

    A)  Two                            

    B)  Thirty

    C)  Fifty-seven                   

    D)  One

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    12 kcal of energy is present in one molecule of ATP and on oxidation of one mole of glucose into \[C{{O}_{2}}\] and\[{{H}_{2}}O\]energy released is 686 kcal. So no. of ATP which can store this energy would be 57.1 = 57 ATPs.
