Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What component of the aerobic system produces the greatest number of ATP molecules?
A
Krebs cycle
B
Electron transport chain
C
Anaerobic glycolysis
D
Aerobic glycolysis
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.

Detailed explanation-2: -During this process electrons are exchanged between molecules, which creates a chemical gradient that allows for the production of ATP. The most vital part of this process is the electron transport chain, which produces more ATP than any other part of cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. This potential is then used to drive ATP synthase and produce ATP from ADP and a phosphate group.
