The answer is the third one: oxidative phosphorylation.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Citric acid cycle: This cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, is a crucial part of cellular respiration, but it does not produce the majority of ATP. It generates electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) that are used in oxidative phosphorylation to produce ATP.

  2. Glycolysis: This process occurs in the cytoplasm and breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP. However, it is not the main source of ATP in cellular respiration.

  3. Oxidative phosphorylation: This is the correct answer. It occurs in the mitochondria and involves the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis. It produces the most ATP during cellular respiration by using the electrons from NADH and FADH2 to create a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis.

  4. Pyruvate oxidation: This process converts pyruvate into acetyl-CoA, producing NADH and releasing CO2, but it does not produce a significant amount of ATP directly.

In summary, oxidative phosphorylation is the stage of cellular respiration where most ATP is produced.

A ship carrying 1000 passengers is wrecked on a small island from which the passengers are never rescued. The natural resources of the island restrict the population to a limiting value of 5740, to which the population gets closer and closer but which it never reaches. The population of the island after time t, in years, is approximated by the logistic equation given below, Complete parts (a) through (c). P(t) = 5740 / (1 + 4.74 e^(-0.4 t)) a) Find the population after 15 years. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.)
