Answer:

The correct answer will be electron transport chain or ETC.

Step-by-step explanation:

Aerobic respiration is a complex process which processes the oxidation of food or glucose to produce energy in then form of ATP.

Cellular respiration proceeds in four phases:

Glycolysis Link reaction Krebs cycle Oxidative phosphorylation

NADH₂- 2 2 6 6+6+18

ATP (SLP)- 2 0 2 0

FADH₂- 0 0 2 4

Oxidative phosphorylation produces large amount of ATP molecules that is 34 ATP because 1 NADH₂ produces 3 ATP while 1 FADH₂ produces 2 ATP molecules.

Thus, electron transport chain or ETC is the correct answer.
