The majority of ATP molecules are produced in the mitochondria during aerobic cellular respiration, which can produce about 36 molecules of ATP. In contrast, anaerobic respiration, which occurs in the cytoplasm, produces a net gain of only 2 ATP molecules.

The majority of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is produced in the cellular respiration process within the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells. Specifically, the bulk of ATP generation occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria through a series of reactions known as the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation.

NADH is produced in the mitochondria during the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain of cellular respiration. FADH2 is also produced in the mitochondria during the citric acid cycle.

Yes, carbon dioxide is produced as a byproduct of cellular respiration in the mitochondria of cells. It is not a reactant in the initial steps of cellular respiration, but is produced during the Krebs cycle and then released as waste.
The four main products produced by the cell during cellular respiration are ATP (adenosine triphosphate), carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and heat. These products are essential for providing energy for cellular processes and maintaining metabolic functions in the body.
