Solution
ATP's produced through oxidative phosphorylation
A process that occurs in living things where the oxidation of acetic acid or its equivalent, acetyl, releases energy that is then stored in phosphate bonds (as in ATP) is known as the Krebs cycle.
The Krebs cycle, which is a crucial component of aerobic respiration, is the primary source of energy for cells.
And the mechanism through which ATP synthesis is connected to the flow of electrons through the mitochondrial electron transport chain and the resulting oxygen consumption is known as oxidative phosphorylation.
In the Krebs cycle, oxidative phosphorylation results in the production of 24 ATP's from the conversion of one glucose molecule to pyruvate.
Final Answer: The number of ATP's produced in each Krebs cycle through oxidative phosphorylation is 24.
