From one saturated 16-carbon fatty acid, beta-oxidation produces 7 NADH and 7 FADH2 molecules. Therefore, 7 NADH x 2.5 ATPs/NADH = 17.5 ATPs and 7 FADH2 x 1.5 ATPs/FADH2 = 10.5 ATPs, resulting in a total of 28 ATPs generated.
A net total of 36-38 ATPs are released during aerobic respiration, while only 2 ATPs are released during anaerobic respiration.

The NADH molecule produces of 2 ATPs during the last stage of respiration. Some think that three ATPs are created from the NADH, however, the last stage of respiration is different than ATP and NADH during electron transfers.
It gets produced form glucose aerobic metabolism that consists of 4 steps: 1.glycolisis = 2 ATPs +2 NADH 2.pyruvate oxidative decarboxilation = 1 NADH *2 (because we have 2 pyruvates from the glycolisis) 3. Krebs cycle = (3NADH + 1FADH + 1ATP) * 2 4.Cellular respiration cycle - process where all the NADH and FADH are converted to ATPs. Each NADH = 3ATP, but FADH=2ATP. Thus we get: 1. 8 ATPs 2. 6 ATPs (3*2) 3. 24 ATPs (12*2) --------------------- 38 ATPs
They break down glucose.Released energy is stored in ATPs.
