Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During which phase of cellular respiration is the most ATP harvested?
A
Glycolysis
B
Krebs Cycle
C
Electron Transport Chain
D
Citric Acid Cycle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-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: -Answer and Explanation: Most of the ATP energy obtained from cellular respiration is produced in the third and final stage, the electron transport chain. In the electron transport chain, electrons are passed from one acceptor to the next, in a series of redox reactions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular Respiration Stage III: Electron Transport Electron transport is the final stage of aerobic respiration. In this stage, energy from NADH and FADH2, which result from the Krebs cycle, is transferred to ATP.

Detailed explanation-5: -Oxidative phosphorylation, which involves the electron transport chain that produces maximum ATP. It takes one NADH molecule via Channel 1 to produce 2.5 ATP and one FADH2 molecule via channel 2 to produce 1.5 ATP, for a total of 34 ATP.
