The greatest amount of ATP is produced during
A
fermentation
B
anaerobic respiration
C
glycolysis
D
aerobic respiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In aerobic respiration, the full oxidation of one glucose molecule can theoretically yield 38 ATP molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The metabolic cycle that provides the highest net ATP per glucose molecule is oxidative phosphorylation. In the mitochondria, aerobic respiration produces the greatest ATP per glucose module.
