검증된 단계별 안내1
Step 1: Understand the main metabolic pathways involved in aerobic cellular respiration: Glycolysis, Citric acid (TCA) cycle, and Oxidative phosphorylation via the electron transport chain.
Step 2: Recall the ATP yield from each pathway per molecule of glucose: Glycolysis produces a small amount of ATP directly, the Citric acid cycle produces some ATP and electron carriers, and Oxidative phosphorylation produces ATP by using the electron carriers generated in previous steps.
Step 3: Recognize that the electron transport chain uses NADH and FADH2 (produced in Glycolysis and the Citric acid cycle) to drive ATP synthesis through a proton gradient and ATP synthase.
Step 4: Compare the total ATP produced by each pathway, noting that Oxidative phosphorylation generates the majority of ATP due to the high efficiency of the electron transport chain.
Step 5: Conclude that Oxidative phosphorylation via the electron transport chain produces the greatest amount of ATP per molecule of glucose in aerobic respiration.
