-high yield of ATP
A)glycolysis
B)citric acid cycle
C)oxidative phosphorylation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oxidative phosphorylation produces the highest yield of ATP, up to 36-38 ATP molecules per glucose molecule.

Answer: A 
 Glycolysis is the first step in cellular respiration and occurs in the cytoplasm. It produces a small amount of ATP (2 molecules of ATP) from the breakdown of glucose.

Answer: B 
 The citric acid cycle occurs in the mitochondria and produces a small amount of ATP (2 molecules of ATP) and electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) that are used in oxidative phosphorylation to produce more ATP.
