Answer
$57.17$
Work Step by Step
To calculate the maximum number of ATP molecules generated from one molecule of glucose, we need to determine the number of moles of ATP that can be produced from the energy yielded by the complete oxidation of 1 mole of glucose.
Energy yielded by complete oxidation of 1 mole of glucose = 686 kcal
Energy available in 1 mole of ATP = 12 kcal
Number of moles of ATP = Energy yielded / Energy per ATP molecule
Number of moles of ATP = 686 kcal / 12 kcal ≈ 57.17 moles
