Compare: The aerobic phase of cellular respiration in the mitochondrion produces a net of about 28 to 30

ATP molecules. How does this compare to the energy released in glycolysis?

Answer: More ATP is produced in mitochondria

Step-by-step explanation:

Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration. It is a common process of both anaerobic and aerobic respiration. It occurs in the cytoplasm of a living cell. During glycolysis 4 ATP and 2 NADH is produced and 2 ATP is used up. Thus, there is a net gain of 2 ATP. The completion of cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondrial matrix and on the inner membrane, where all the co-enzymes NADH and FADH₂ oxidized to release ATPs. On oxidation, each NADH produces 3ATP and each FADH₂ produces 2 ATP. Total 10 NADH is produced during complete oxidation which yields 30 ATP and 2 FADH₂ yields 4 ATP. Thus, in the mitochondria, more ATP is produced as compared to glycolysis.
