Which Paths Produce the Most ATP per Glucose Molecule

Its important to know how many ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, are produced per glucose molecule by various metabolic pathways, such as the Krebs cycle, fermentation, glycolysis, electron transport, and chemiosmosis. Take a look at how many net ATP are produced per pathway  and which yields the most ATP per glucose. Here is the breakdown of net ATP production: Glycolysis: 2 ATPKrebs Cycle: 2 ATPOxidative Phosphorylation (Electron Transport Chain/Chemiosmosis): 28 ATPFermentation: 2 ATP So, oxidative phosphorylation is the metabolic cycle that produces the most net ATP per glucose molecule.
