The stage of aerobic cellular respiration
that generates the most ATP is the Electron transport chain.
This occurs in the inner mitochondrial
membrane and produces the majority of ATP in aerobic respiration. It uses energy
from electrons transferred through proteins in the chain to pump protons across
the membrane, creating a proton gradient. The enzyme ATP synthase then uses
this gradient to generate ATP. This stage produces the most ATP, around 28–30
ATP molecules per glucose molecule.
