Which pathway generates the most ATP?
A)fermentation
B)glycolysis
C)photosynthesis
D)citric acid cycle
E)electron transport chain

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electron transport chain is the pathway that generates the most ATP, producing up to 32 ATP molecules per glucose molecule. Fermentation and glycolysis produce only 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule, photosynthesis produces ATP indirectly through the electron transport chain, and the citric acid cycle produces only 1 ATP molecule per cycle.
