Question

Which of these processes is responsible for generating the most ATP within cellular respiration?

Answer 1

The answer is B. The breakdown of glucose into pyruvic acid

Answer 2

Glycolysis is the process responsible for generating the most ATP within cellular respiration  

During cellular respiration, the food molecules such as glucose, are oxidized to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) and trapped in ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) form for further us of cell’s activities. ATP’s are formed at mitochondria – the cell’s powerhouse. This type of organelle takes and breaks nutrients absorbed by the cell and creates energy afterward. The energy from ATP is then used by the body in kinetic activities like running & walking or involuntary activities like breathing, blood circulation, stimulus-responding, etc.
