Question
In aerobic cellular respiration, which generates more ATP, substrate-level phosphorylation or chemiosmosis?
Answer: Option B
:
B
In aerobic cellular respiration, ATP production through chemiosmotic synthesis is linked to the proton gradient generated by the Electron transport system. 30-32 molecules of ATP are generated by chemiosmosis during breakdown of one molecule of glucose. Whereas only about 8 molecules are formed through substrate level phosphorylation, that is transfer of a high energy phosphate group from a substrate to ADP.
