ATP is formed in ____
|
Golgi Complex
|
|
Endoplasmic reticulum
|
|
Mitochondria
|
|
All of them
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Most of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesized during glucose metabolism is produced in the mitochondria through oxidative phosphorylation . This is a complex reaction powered by the proton gradient across the mitochondrial inner membrane, which is generated by mitochondrial respiration.
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: -Mitochondria oxidize respiratory substrates and produce ATP in response to the demand imposed by ATP-consuming reactions in the cytosol.
