Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which process produces the most ATP?
A
glycolysis
B
Krebs’ cycle
C
Electron transport
D
fermentation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Oxidative phosphorylation is the process of the formation of ATP, from ADP and inorganic phosphate. The process includes oxidation and reduction of proteins. This process takes place in the mitochondria during the electron transport chain of aerobic respiration. During oxidative phosphorylation, most ATPs are produced.

Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: The electron transport chain generates the most ATP out of all three major phases of cellular respiration. Glycolysis produces a net of 2 ATP per molecule of glucose. In the Krebs cycle, there is one GTP (which is an ATP equivalent) generate in the conversion of succinyl-CoA to succinate.
