Question

in eukaryotic cells, each stage of cellular metabolism generates a different net amount of atp. which stage directly generates the greatest number of atp molecules per metabolized glucose molecule?
○ electron transport chain
○ fermentation
○ glycolysis
○ citric acid cycle (krebs cycle)

Explanation:

In eukaryotic cells, glycolysis generates a net of 2 ATP per glucose. Fermentation has a low - ATP yield. The citric acid cycle generates a small number of ATP directly. The electron transport chain, through oxidative phosphorylation, directly generates the greatest number of ATP (around 28 - 32) per metabolized glucose molecule.

Answer:

electron transport chain
