Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cells produce ATP most efficiently in the presence of
A
water
B
carbon dioxide
C
oxygen
D
radiant energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cells are able to produce ATP most efficiently in the presence of oxygen gas during aerobic respiration. For every one molecule of glucose oxidized during aerobic respiration up to 38 ATP’s can be made.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Summary. Aerobic respiration produces much more ATP than anaerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -The most efficient method of generating ATP for most organisms is aerobic respiration.
