Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The greatest amount of ATP is produced during
A
fermentation
B
anaerobic respiration
C
glycolysis
D
aerobic respiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The stage of aerobic respiration that produces the greatest number of ATP molecules is the electron transport chain. Aerobic respiration starts with glycolysis.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-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: -In aerobic respiration, the full oxidation of one glucose molecule can theoretically yield 38 ATP molecules.
