The set of reactions that is the primary route of ATP production in the cells is called ETS REACTIONS. ETS stands for Electron Transport System. The reactions occur in the cristae of the mitochondria in the presence of cytochromes and coenzymes, which act as carrier molecules. They accept energized electrons and pass the electrons to the next molecules in the system. The overall reaction result in the production of ATP, which is the only form of energy that is usable by the cells.

Answer;

ETS reactions (electron transport system reactions)

Explanation;

-ATP is produced by the process of cellular respiration that takes place inside a cell in organelles called mitochondria.

Cellular respiration involves three stages, namely; glycolysis, citric acid cycle -and electron transport chain. During the process of cellular respiration (aerobic), 38 ATP molecules are produced ( 2 ATP from glycolysis, 2 ATP from citric acid cycle and 34 ATP from electron transport system). Thus, the ETS accounts for the largest amount of ATP produced during cellular respiration.
