Expert Solution
Step 1

The correct answer is Option A -  38,2

The total number of ATP molecules that can be generated from glucose oxidation is 38.

The distribution of ATP generation is as follows-

Glycolysis -2 ATP

Krebs cycle - 2 ATP

Electron transport chain - 34 ATP

Total =  38 ATP molecules
