Cellular respiration is the process responsible for converting energy stored in carbohydrates, like glucose, into usable cellular energy called ATP. This process involves three unique steps that break down the carbohydrate and release energy in the form of ATP and electrons.Cell respiration by RegisFrey (CC BY-SA 3.0)Which of the following statements correctly identifies the stage of cellular respiration that produces the MOST ATP and the enzyme responsible for this production?Elimination ToolSelect one answerAGlycolysis: ATP synthase.BKrebs Cycle: helicase.CElectron transport chain: ATP synthase.DElectron transport chain: helicase.
Question
Cellular respiration is the process responsible for converting energy stored in carbohydrates, like glucose, into usable cellular energy called ATP. This process involves three unique steps that break down the carbohydrate and release energy in the form of ATP and electrons.Cell respiration by RegisFrey (CC BY-SA 3.0)Which of the following statements correctly identifies the stage of cellular respiration that produces the MOST ATP and the enzyme responsible for this production?Elimination ToolSelect one answerAGlycolysis: ATP synthase.BKrebs Cycle: helicase.CElectron transport chain: ATP synthase.DElectron transport chain: helicase.
Solution
The correct answer is C. Electron transport chain: ATP synthase. The electron transport chain is the stage of cellular respiration that produces the most ATP. ATP synthase is the enzyme responsible for this production.
