OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Complete oxidation of glucose will generate the highest number of ATP. First, glucose is broken down to pyruvate. The pyruvate formed is then converted to acetyl-coA which passes through the TCA cycle to produce energy and reducing equivalents. The reducing equivalents (NADH and FADH2) then enter the electron transport chain to produce more ATP. Complete oxidation of glucose usually produces 36 ATP. There, happy? (That's what you get for messing with the KITTY >:D)

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):
