Answer:

<u>Cartilage</u> is the flexible, tough material that makes up vertebrate skeletons or parts of the skeletal system.

Explanation:

Cartilage is the part of skeletal system that acts as a connective tissue too. It is comprised of chondrocytes cell types (formed by chondrification) and produce collagen and proteoglycan. It provides elasticity and found in the rib cage, nose, ear, and in the Intervertebral discs. It is abundantly present in infants but at later growth stages, bone maturation process takes place which replaces/hardens the cartilage with hard bones.

Witch is the site of the most ATP production during cellular respiration

mihalych1998 [28]

I don't know how specific you need to get for this question. The basic answer would be the mitochondria as it is where the Krebs Cycle, the Electron Transport Chain, and Chemiosmosis (also referred to as oxidative phosphorylation) all occur. Chemiosmosis is where the majority of ATP is produced during cellular respiration, and it primarily occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria as protons move down the gradient through ATP Synthetase channels.
