Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The pathways that produce ATP are:
A
glycolysis and fermentation
B
fermenation and Krebs
C
glycolysis, fermenation and ETC
D
glycolysis, Krebs and ETC
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose and produces ATP. The stages of cellular respiration include glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid or Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation .

Detailed explanation-2: -How much ATP is produced in all three stages combined? Glycolysis produces 2 ATP molecules, and the Krebs cycle produces 2 more. Electron transport from the molecules of NADH and FADH2 made from glycolysis, the transformation of pyruvate, and the Krebs cycle creates as many as 32 more ATP molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic states. In aerobic conditions, pyruvate enters the citric acid cycle and undergoes oxidative phosphorylation leading to the net production of 32 ATP molecules.
