Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -During cellular respiration, a glucose molecule is gradually broken down into carbon dioxide and water. Along the way, some ATP is produced directly in the reactions that transform glucose. Much more ATP, however, is produced later in a process called oxidative phosphorylation.
Detailed explanation-2: -So, oxidative phosphorylation is the metabolic cycle that produces the most net ATP per glucose molecule.
Detailed explanation-3: -In aerobic respiration, the full oxidation of one glucose molecule can theoretically yield 38 ATP molecules.
Detailed explanation-4: -In aerobic respiration, one glucose molecule results in a net ATP gain of 38 ATP.
