Electron transport chain

Vedclass · Answer

(B) In the complete oxidation of glucose, the majority of $ATP$ molecules are produced during the $Electron 	ext{ } Transport 	ext{ } Chain$ $(ETC)$ via oxidative phosphorylation.During glycolysis and the $Kreb's 	ext{ } cycle$, only a small amount of $ATP$ (or $GTP$) is produced through substrate-level phosphorylation.However, the reduced coenzymes ($NADH$ and $FADH_2$) generated in the earlier stages donate electrons to the $ETC$, which drives the synthesis of a large number of $ATP$ molecules through the $ATP 	ext{ } synthase$ complex.

During which stage in the complete oxidation of glucose are the greatest number of $ATP$ molecules formed from $ADP$?
