Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
One way of indicating the ATP yield from oxidative phosphorylation is the P/O ratio, which is expressed as the moles of inorganic phosphate used per oxygen atom consumed.
The cell stores 40% of the chemical energy liberated by the combustion of glucose in the form of ATP.
The rest of the energy is dissipated as heat or used for other cell functions.
