Question
which of the following portions of respiration yields (creates) the highest net atp? (1 point)
electron transport chain
fermentation
krebs cycle
glycolysis
The electron - transport chain generates the most ATP during cellular respiration. Fermentation produces only 2 ATP per glucose molecule. Glycolysis also yields 2 net ATP per glucose. The Krebs cycle produces a relatively small number of ATP directly, but its main role is to generate electron - carriers (NADH and FADH₂) that are used in the electron - transport chain. The electron - transport chain uses the energy from these electron - carriers to produce a large amount of ATP, typically around 28 - 32 ATP per glucose molecule.
