In which stage is most of the ATP produced during cellular respiration?
Two carbon dioxide molecules formed in the conversion of pyruvic
acid to acetyl-CoA True, but you also gain 2 ATP's in the Krebs
cycle, but you get the most ATP at the electron transport chain,
which generates around 34 ATP (4 are substrate level
phosphorylation, meaning they are created right then, and 34 are
oxidative level phohosphorylation, meaning they are obtained
later).
