Question

The majority of ATP molecules produced during aerobic respiration are produced in what?

Answer 1

Mitochondria.

The stage of respiration that produces the most ATP is electron transfer stage.

Answer 2

The great majority ( ~ 90% ) of the ATPs produced by the cell during aerobic respiration is produced by oxidative  phosphorylation performed by the electron transport chain utilizing oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor. Two of the total 36 or 38 ATPs ( depending on which NADH reducing equivalent shuttle is used ) are produced in the fermentative pathway of glycolysis. Two more are produced  as GTPs = ATPs from the two moles of pyruvate which via acetyl CoA go through the TCA ) via substrate level phophorylation. The remainder come from the ATPase complex associated with the ETC ( oxidative phosphorylation ).  The matrix of the mitochondrion contains the TCA and ETC. The ADP to be phosphorylated comes into the inner mitochondrial membrane via the ADP/ATP translocase.

Answer 3

During oxidative phosphorylation which takes place on the inner membrane of mitochondria.

Answer 4

The electron transport system. Most of the electrons for the ETS come from the Krebs cycle, though. It depends on what your teacher is really asking.

Answer 5

in the mitochondrion by ATP synthase (associated with the electron transport chain in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion)

Answer 6

THE majority are produced in the Mitochondria!
