Releases carbon dioxide
|
|

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -With oxygen, organisms can break down glucose all the way to carbon dioxide. This releases enough energy to produce up to 38 ATP molecules. Thus, aerobic respiration releases much more energy than anaerobic respiration.
Detailed explanation-2: -The stage that produces most of the ATP during cellular respiration is the electron transport system (ETS). The inner mitochondrial membrane holds the ATPase enzyme and the complexes for ETS.
Detailed explanation-3: -In aerobic respiration, the full oxidation of one glucose molecule can theoretically yield 38 ATP molecules.
Detailed explanation-4: -What stage of cellular respiration yields the most ATP? The oxidative phosphorylation: around 34 ATP/glucose (gross).
