Which stage of aerobic respiration produces the most ATP?

Question

Question 10 options:

A)

Krebs cycle

B)

Glycolysis

C)

Electron transport chain

D)

Pyruvate oxidation

Answer 1

The stage of aerobic respiration that produces the most ATP is:

C) Electron transport chain

The electron transport chain generates the majority of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation, utilizing the high-energy electrons from reduced coenzymes (NADH and FADH₂) produced during earlier stages of respiration.
