Solution

Oxidative phosphorylation:

  1. The metabolic cycle that provides the highest net ATP per glucose molecule is oxidative phosphorylation.
  2. In the mitochondria, aerobic respiration produces the greatest ATP per glucose module.
  3. In the glycolysis stage, 2ATP, 2NADPH, and 2 pyruvates are produced for each molecule of glucose.
  4. Pyruvate from glycolysis enters the Krebs cycle, resulting in the production of 36 ATP molecules as well as more reduced NADP and FAD.
