The complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose can yield 36 to 38 ATP molecules during aerobic respiration. This process includes glycolysis, the formation of Acetyl-CoA, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain, with most ATP produced during oxidative phosphorylation. Without oxygen, only 2 ATP are produced via anaerobic pathways.
