This potential is then used to drive ATP synthaseand produce ATP from ADP and a phosphate group. Biology textbooks often state that 38 ATP molecules can bemade per oxidised glucose molecule during cellular respiration (2 from glycolysis, 2 from the Krebs cycle, and about34 from the electron transport system).
Respiration. Mitochondria produce energy through the process of cellular respiration. Respiration is another word for breathing. The mitochondria take food molecules in the form of carbohydrates and combine them with oxygen to produce the ATP.
