Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How many ATP are produced during Electron Transport Phosphorylation?
A
25-27
B
32-34
C
2-4
D
48-50
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Electrons from NADH and FADH2 are then transferred to molecular oxygen, coupled to the formation of an additional 32 to 34 ATP molecules by oxidative phosphorylation .

Detailed explanation-2: -The electron transport chain is the final step of cellular respiration where 34 ATP molecules are produced.

Detailed explanation-3: -The citric acid cycle produces 36 ATP molecules. So, in aerobic respiration, a total of 38 molecules of ATP are created, with 2 ATP molecules formed outside the mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-4: -During citric acid cycle, 36 ATP molecules are produced. So, all together there are 38 molecules of ATP produced in aerobic respiration and 2 ATP are formed outside the mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-5: -Out of 38 ATP molecules produced per glucose, 34 ATP molecules are formed through which process? Electron transport produces 34 out of the 38 ATP produced from one glucose molecule through cellular respiration.
