Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electron transport chain generates the largest amount of energy in the form of ATP during cellular respiration. It occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane and involves the transfer of electrons from NADH and FADH2 to oxygen, ultimately producing a proton gradient that drives the synthesis of ATP through ATP synthase. The other options (glycolysis, Krebs cycle, mitochondrial matrix reactions, and fermentation) generate ATP but do not produce as much as the electron transport chain.
