Chemiosmotic phosphorylation, which occurs in the electron transport chain, produces the most ATP in cellular respiration compared to substrate-level phosphorylation. Converting oxygen to ATP and transferring electrons from organic molecules to pyruvate are not accurate descriptions of cellular respiration. Generating carbon dioxide and oxygen in the electron transport chain is also not a valid description of this process.
