A large quantity of ATP molecules is produced during ___________.
A)both aerobic and anaerobic metabolism
B)anaerobic metabolism when adequate oxygen is present in the cell
C)aerobic metabolism when adequate oxygen is present in the cell
D)aerobic metabolism when there isn't sufficient oxygen present in the cell

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aerobic metabolism, which occurs in the presence of oxygen, produces a large quantity of ATP molecules. Anaerobic metabolism, which occurs in the absence of oxygen, produces a smaller amount of ATP molecules. Oxygen is a crucial component of the electron transport chain, which is the final stage of aerobic metabolism that produces the majority of ATP. Anaerobic metabolism can occur when there isn't enough oxygen present in the cell, but it produces lactic acid and a much smaller amount of ATP.
