When comparing the yield of ATP from the different stages of cellular respiration, which produces the greatest number of ATP

Sagot :

Answer:

The correct answer is - electron transport system.

Explanation:

There are 3 main stages of cellular respiration (aerobic) that are Glycolysis, the Kreb's Cycle and the ETS or Electron Transport Chain. The formation of energy in ATPare as follows:

Glycolysis - glucose > 2 Pyretic Acid Molecules =>2 ATP and Hydrogen

The Krebs Cycle - Citric Acid (a derivative of Pyruvic Acid) > 2 ATP in 4 cycles and  Hydrogen, carbon dioxide and water.

The Electron Transport Chain > electron carrying Hydrogens > releases the energy as 4 ATP and water

Thus, the correct answer is - The Electron Transport Chain is the stage that produces most of the ATP during cellular respiration.
