For example, a friend of yours goes to the gym and takes a 30-minute cardio interval training class. While switching among doing high-intensity pushups, jumping jacks, and weight training, she notices a burning sensation in her muscles. The burning is due to the buildup of in the muscle tissue, a result of her muscles supplying ATP What is true about this pathway for forming ATP? Check all that apply.
- This pathway is typically used when oxygen delivery or oxidative phosphorylation capacity is exceeded.
- Compared to oxidative phosphorylation, this pathway can generate ATP more rapidly but also depletes glycogen stores more rapidly.
- This pathway typically utilizes creatine phosphate supplies to provide short bursts of high-intensity contractile effort.
- Known as glycolysis, this pathway is ideal for endurance-type exercises, where glycogen stores are slowly and steadily depleted to provide a consistent rate of ATP production.
