Bioenergetics is a crucial aspect of biochemistry that studies the energy flow through living systems. One important concept in bioenergetics is the use of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) as the primary energy currency in cells. ATP is synthesized primarily in the mitochondria through a process known as oxidative phosphorylation. This process involves the electron transport chain and the generation of a proton gradient, driving ATP synthesis.
Which of the following processes is responsible for producing the most ATP during cellular respiration?
