Aerobic production of ATP occurs in the
A) mitochondria in a process called glycolysis.

D) cytoplasm.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aerobic production of ATP occurs in the mitochondria in a process called oxidative phosphorylation. This process involves the electron transport chain and produces a large amount of ATP. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and beta oxidation occurs in the mitochondria, but they do not involve aerobic production of ATP.
