Explain how the electron transport chain contributes to ATP production in cellular respiration.

• It uses oxygen to directly synthesize ATP.

• It creates a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis.

• It breaks down glucose to release energy.

• It converts pyruvate into acetyl-CoA.

Compare anaerobic and aerobic respiration in terms of ATP yield.

• Anaerobic respiration produces more ATP than aerobic respiration.

• Aerobic respiration produces more ATP than anaerobic respiration.

• Both produce the same amount of ATP.

• Neither process produces ATP.
