How many ATP are produced per glucose molecule by the Aerobic (glycolytic) system?

1 ATP
2 ATP
38 ATP
100 or more ATP

The correct answer is: 38 ATP

The Aerobic (glycolytic) system produces 38 ATP per glucose molecule. This is because during aerobic respiration, glucose is broken down through a series of chemical reactions to create a total of 38 ATP molecules. Option A (1 ATP) and B (2 ATP) are incorrect because these values are reflective of a different process called anaerobic respiration, which occurs in the absence of oxygen and produces a smaller amount of ATP. Option D (100 or more ATP) is also incorrect as ATP production is not infinite and is limited by the chemical reactions involved in breaking down glucose.
