Answer:

The electron transport chain or ETC for short has 34 ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate or the energy carrying molecule) Which has the molecular formula C10H12N5O13P3. So I would go with D because this is closest.

This is because one molecule of glucose in a Eukaryotic cell generates around 30 to 32 ATP.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 34 ATP produced by ETC(Electron transport chain) or the electron transport stage produces the most ATP(energy carrying molecule) out of any stage in aerobic respiration/ cellular respiration cycle. While the krebs cycle, and Glycolysis produce 2 ATP each. Making the rest of the stages 30 ATP total.
