Calculating ATP Produced in Cellular Respiration

What is the currently accepted calculation of total ATP produced in the oxidation of one glucose molecule? Why do textbooks often report a range of ATP values? By Jasmine Rana.

Reading the comment section shows that the internet brings out the worst in some people...

Excellent explanation....Ive always wondered why in some textbooks they put the net ATP gain is 30-32 while if you did the math by yourself you will get 36 OR 34 ( IF you considered there is a 3 ATP gain per one NADH and 2 ATP per one FADH2 )

apparently they use the equation of 2.5 ATP per NADH and 1.5 ATP per FADH2 and that what makes the difference ..

Why can't people in this field standardize the values a bit more across textbooks? Each bio book has different numbers and each MCAT book has different numbers. Is it 32 or 38 or 2.5ATP/3 for NADH and 1.5/2 FADH2?

Thaaankkk you soo much, this is very very helpful.

But the C subunit of the ATP Sythase only uses 3 H+ not 4 to power 120 degree rotation that produces 1 ATP, the other H+ is used in the uptake of inorganic phosphate in the Beta Subunit of the F1 of the ATP Synthase to ATP from ADP.

Your voice is literally like my friend rakesh😂 when he sees a cute animal.

I don't know why... it's probably just me but her voice sounds kinda like Pam Beesly from The Office.

I've always thought there were 38 ATP for each glucose. Did I miss something?

[minab]

Please answer, how many ATP yield in maltose full oxidation?

[husainahmad]

I m Confused Some one calculate 30, 32 And 38 😥

WHAT IS THAT N O I S E? IT SOUNDS LIKE G R A V E L

[lakshithak]

OMG EAR RIP my throat feels uncomfortable now

[nazbites]

miss rana please stop vocal frying!!! it's very bad for your glottis and doesn't sound well !!

[antoniskelesidis]

Really hard to understand because of the voice.

[minoyladeneyeyanila]

blasting out tires my brain please set the microfon differently!

[christinelapaz]

Mr. KHAN where are you? This person's voice is distracting to my ear drums.

[nupurniharikabharadwaj]

Y is the voice so weird, it is stressing way too much

[bluesdog]

Wait, what? What are we nailing down? Is this a carpentry video? lol

[graymatter]

Hands down the worst khan akademy video of all time

[syedalee]

lol .whos gonna understand with that sexy voice? ;D
