Question : I mean the total energy is 38 ATPs,, why do textbooks give the range of 36-38?? is there any lost energy?? I don't think so!!!

Answer : From wikipedia: Biology textbooks often state that between 36-38 ATP molecules can be made per oxidised glucose molecule during cellular respiration (2 from glycolysis, 2 from the Krebs cycle, and about 32-34 from the electron transport system). Generally, 38 ATP molecules are formed from aerobic respiration. However, this maximum yield is never quite reached due to losses (leaky membranes) as well as the cost of moving pyruvate and ADP into the mitochondrial matrix...   More from Yahoo Answers
