Answer:

36 ATPs

Explanation:

Cellular respiration starts with glycolysis wherein glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate. The process of glycolysis forms two molecules of ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation for each glucose molecule. Both pyruvate molecules are converted into acetyl CoA to enter into the Kreb's cycle. Kreb's cycle forms two ATP molecules by substrate-level phosphorylation. NADH and FADH2 formed during glycolysis and Kreb's cycle are oxidized by the electron transport chain. This process also forms as many as 34 ATP molecules. If acetyl CoA is not formed, the total ATP gain per glucose will be only 2 ATP molecules (from glycolysis only) which is 38-2= 36 less than the total.

What is an advantage of using nuclear power?
My name is Ann [436]
<span><span>Large nameplate capacity per plant, typically around 1 GW.
</span><span>Typically 90% capacity factor, maximizing output from the nameplate capacity.
</span><span>Small fuel transportation volumes as the fissionable material just isn't that big or heavy compared to equivalent fossil fuel BTU sources.
</span><span>Low CO2 per MWH on a full life cycle basis. ~12 grams which is only slightly more than wind / solar.
This is a reason nuclear is a much better source for one of the major pressing problems of today than fossil fuels: global warming.</span>No particulate matter pollution.No sulfur dioxide or other chemical pollution.<span>Low fatalities per TWH. 
Nuclear is higher than renewables according to current statistics, but much, much lower than fossil fuel generation.</span></span>

Nuclear power generates lots of clean, stable energy.
