Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ produces the most ATP.
A
Aerobic respiration
B
Anaerobic respriation
C
Glycolysis
D
Photosynthesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Electron Transport System generates 32 or 34 ATP molecules and is the cell’s main source of energy. Thus, the electron transport system produces the most ATP in cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Aerobic respiration is much more efficient due to the high production of ATP. This high production occurs due to the complete breakdown of glucose into CO2 and Energy (ATP).

Detailed explanation-3: -Aerobic respiration is far more energy-efficient than anaerobic respiration. Aerobic processes produce up to 38 ATP per glucose. Anaerobic processes yield only 2 ATP per glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -The majority of ATP synthesis occurs in cellular respiration within the mitochondrial matrix: generating approximately thirty-two ATP molecules per molecule of glucose that is oxidized.
