This question is based on the stages of glucose oxidation.?

Question

Which one of the stages produces the most ATP when glucose is completely oxidized to carbon dioxide and water?

Answer 1

There are 4 stages of cellular respiration.

1. Glycolysis
2. Pyruvate Oxidation
3. Krebs Cycle or Citric Acid Cycle)
4. Electron Transport Chain

The stage that produce most ATP is stage 4: Electron Transport Chain. The end product of this stage not only ATP but "WATER".

However, it is stage 3 Krebs Cycle that "CO2" is released.

hope that'd help.
