Question 10 • Biology

Which is the site of the most ATP production during cellular respiration?

Answer
A
cytoplasm
B
mitochondrion
C
nucleus
D
chloroplast

Explanation

Most ATP in cellular respiration is made during oxidative phosphorylation, which takes place on the inner membrane of the mitochondrion. Glycolysis in the cytoplasm produces only a small amount of ATP, so the mitochondrion is the site of the most ATP production.
