Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which process produces the bulk of the ATP in aerobic respiration?
A
Glycolysis
B
Kreb’s cycle
C
E.T.C.
D
Fermentation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Most of the ATP produced by aerobic cellular respiration is made by oxidative phosphorylation . The energy released is used to create a chemiosmotic potential by pumping protons across a membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -During aerobic cellular respiration, glucose reacts with oxygen, forming ATP that can be used by the cell. Carbon dioxide and water are created as byproducts.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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.
