    If 10 glucose molecules are broken down, 320 ATP molecules will be generated during the electron transport chain.

    Explanation:

    In the electron transport chain, high energy electrons travel across a series of proteins embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane, releasing energy in the process. Hydrogen is pumped from the matrix into the intermembrane space, therefore an hydrogen ion gradient is formed across the inner membrane. These proton are then pumped back into the mitochondrial membrane where the synthesis of ATP from ATP synthase takes place.

    In the electron transport chain, a total of 32 ATPs are generated per glucose molecule.

    so if 10 glucose molecules are broken down:

    1 glucose ⇒ 32 ATPs

    10 glucose ⇒ 10*32

    320 ATP molecules
