Question

which stage of cellular respiration produces the most atp? cellular respiration glycolysis electron transport chain

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Cellular respiration has three main stages: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle), and the electron transport chain (ETC). Glycolysis produces a small amount of ATP (2 net ATP). The citric acid cycle produces a few more (2 ATP per glucose molecule). The electron transport chain, however, uses the electron carriers (NADH and FADH₂) from the previous stages to generate a large amount of ATP (around 26 - 28 ATP per glucose molecule) through oxidative phosphorylation. So the Electron Transport Chain produces the most ATP.

Answer:

Electron Transport Chain
