Which step in cellular respiration results in the most ATP being produced?
Which step in cellular respiration results in the most ATP being produced?
Cellular respiration is composed of many steps used to break down glucose and convert the chemical energy into ATP. Of the four steps described in the answer choices, oxidative phosphorylation via the electron transport chain is the most effective step for producing ATP. The electron transport chain can produce between 32 and 38 ATP from a single glucose molecule.

Where does glycolysis take place in the cell?
Where does glycolysis take place in the cell?
Glycolysis is the first step of glucose breakdown in cells. This process takes place in the cytosol.
The second step of cellular respiration, the citric acid cycle, takes place in the mitochondrial matrix. The third step, the electron transport chain, takes place on the inner mitochondrial membrane and requires protons to be concentrated within the intermembrane space.

What statement about glycolysis is correct?
What statement about glycolysis is correct?
Glycolysis is the first step in cell metabolism. It is responsible for converting glucose (a 6-carbon sugar) into two molecules of pyruvate (a 3-carbon sugar). Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, where the sugar molecules interact directly with enzymes. After pyruvate is created, it is transported to the mitochondria for the remainder of cellular respiration (the citric acid cycle and electron transport chain).
Though plants undergo photosynthesis, they also use cellular respiration. Glycolysis takes place in both animal and plant cells.
