Q305
Largest amount of phosphate bond energy is produced in the process of respiration during
A.
Glycolysis
B.
Krebs cycle
AnswerC.
Anaerobic respiration
D.
None of these
Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
The largest amount of phosphate bond energy is produced in the process of respiration during the Krebs cycle.The tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, also known as the Krebs or citric acid cycle, is the main source of energy for cells and an important part of aerobic respiration.
The Krebs cycle is used by organisms that respire (as opposed to organisms that ferment) to generate energy, either by anaerobic respiration or aerobic respiration.
The cycle harnesses the available chemical energy of acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA) into the reducing power of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH).
