In Higher Eukaryotes,most Aerobically Generated ATP is Produced By

Question

In higher eukaryotes,most aerobically generated ATP is produced by
A)glycolysis.
B)the TCA cycle.
C)a membrane-bound proton translocating ATP synthase during oxidative phosphorylation.
D)all of these generate equal amounts of ATP.

Accepted Answer

While glycolysis and the TCA cycle do generate ATP, the majority of ATP in higher eukaryotes is produced by the membrane-bound proton translocating ATP synthase during oxidative phosphorylation, which uses energy from the electron transport chain to produce ATP.
