Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where does the majority of ATP generation occur?
A
glycolysis
B
lactic acid fermentation
C
aerobic respiration
D
photosynthesis
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: -Advantages of Aerobic Respiration With oxygen, organisms can break down glucose all the way to carbon dioxide. This releases enough energy to produce up to 38 ATP molecules. Thus, aerobic respiration releases much more energy than anaerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -This high production occurs due to the complete breakdown of glucose into CO2 and Energy (ATP). In aerobic respiration 38 ATP is produced whereas in anaerobic respiration only 2 ATP is produced with the production of an additional side product like lactic acid or ethanol.
