The atp required for continuous muscle contraction during endurance activities comes from?

1 answer:

3 0

The ATP required for continuous muscle contraction during endurance activities comes from anaerobic respiration and oxidative phosphorylation.

<h3>What is anaerobic respiration? </h3>

The process of breakdown of substrate glucose in the absence of oxygen is called anaerobic respiration. This process primarily takes in some unicellular organisms.

In humans, during endurance activities, a continuous supply of ATP is required. The ATP reserves in muscles are very small. Thus, there is a requirement for metabolic pathways to maintain continuous ATP supply and resynthesis.

These pathways are phosphocreatine breakdown and muscle glycogen breakdown which enable anaerobic substrate level phosphorylation and aerobic phosphorylation.

Therefore, the ATP required for continuous muscle contraction during endurance activities comes from anaerobic respiration and oxidative phosphorylation.

RUDIKE [14]

Answer: 3 stages- glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid or Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. In glycolysis, the beginning process of all types of cellular respiration, two molecules of ATP are used to attach 2 phosphate groups to a glucose molecule, which is broken down into 2 separate 3-carbon PGAL molecules. PGAL releases electrons and hydrogen ions to the electron carrier molecule NADP+. A carboxyl group is removed from pyruvate and released as carbon dioxide. The two-carbon molecule from the first step is oxidized, and NAD+ accepts the electrons to form NADH. The oxidized two-carbon molecule, an acetyl group, is attached to Coenzyme A to form acetyl CoA. The citric acid cycle, where acetyl CoA is modified in the mitochondria to produce energy precursors in preparation for the next step. Oxidative phosphorylation, the process where electron transport from the energy precursors from the citric acid cycle (step 3) leads to the phosphorylation of ADP, producing ATP. The space between the inner and outer membrane is called the intermembrane space. The space enclosed by the inner membrane is called the matrix. The second stage of cellular respiration, the Krebs cycle, takes place in the matrix. The third stage, electron transport, takes place on the inner membrane.

➷ The correct answer would be D. Products of one process are used as some of the reactants for the other processes.

As you may know, the formula for photosynthesis is:

carbon dioxide + water ==> oxygen + glucose

And the formula for respiration is:

oxygen + glucose ==> carbon dioxide + water

The reactants for one are the products for the other and vice versa. This is why it would be the correct option.
