Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following processes creates the most ATP during aerobic cellular respiration?
A
glycolysis
B
fermentation
C
electron transport chain
D
Kreb’s cycle
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: -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: -The metabolic cycle that provides the highest net ATP per glucose molecule is oxidative phosphorylation.
