Question

Question 19 of 20 The complete oxidation of one glucose molecule yields 30 or more ATP . Glucose catabolism includes glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, and the citric acid cycle. The total yield of ATP includes ATP , GTP , and reduced cofactors that yield ATP from the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation. Which processes yield the most ATP ? When determining the ATP yield for each process, include ATP derived from reduced cofactors. glycolysis citric acid cycle oxidation of pyruvate to acetyl‑ CoA

Answer 1

Oxidative phosphorylation is a process which produces most of ATP that is produced during cellular respiration. Glycolysis produces 2 ATP molecules. Citric acid cycle produces 2 ATP molecules.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oxidative phosphorylation process is also known as electron transport chain. This process produces ATP in large amount i. e. 28 ATP molecules. This process only occurs in aerobic respiration because this process requires oxygen while glycolysis and citric acid cycle produces only 2 ATP molecules.
