Which of the following processes produce the maximum amount of ATP on the aerobic breakdown of one molecule of glucose?
Options
- AGlycolysis
- BKreb's cycle
- CElectron transport system
- DFermentation
Correct answer
C. Electron transport system
Step-by-step solution
The energy produced during the breakdown of one glucose molecule in ETS contributes to maximum amount of ATP in Kreb's cycle, accounting to about 34 ATP. Glycolysis yields 2ATP on one glucose molecule breakdown and 2 Kreb's cycles produce upto 4 ATP.
