NEET 2007 Biology question

Biology Respiration in Plants NEET 2007

The overall goal of glycolysis, Krebs cycle and the electron transport system is the formation of:

(1)Nucleic acids
(2)ATP is small stepwise unitsCorrect
(3)ATP in one large oxidation reaction
(4)Sugars

Answer: (2)

Solution

Cellular respiration oxidises glucose gradually through glycolysis, the Krebs (TCA) cycle and the electron transport chain; the energy of oxidation is released in many small steps and trapped as ATP in small units (substrate-level phosphorylation
