Explanation of Solution

Johnny Appleseed had distributed apple seeds in the United States in the year 1800s. He preferred seeds over grafting the plants. By the process of grafting the apple plants would form would be exact clones of the parent plant. But by growing the plants through seeds the apple plant could adapt and grow well to the new conditions provided. Thus the seeds got from apples produce trees that are not the exact clones of parent. The quality of apples got from his plantation was not good as it was not edible and was only used for cider purposes.

One of the ways for a cell to generate ATP is through the oxidative phosphorylation. In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules. If a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?
