Exercise 14

Briefly discuss the interaction of anaerobic versus aerobic ATP production during exercise.

Step 1 of 3

Though exercises are categorized as aerobics and anaerobics, in reality, the energy to perform most types of exercises comes from both the types of respiration. Aerobic respiration involves glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain, accompanied by oxidative phosphorylation. However, anaerobic respiration is simple and involves glycolysis plus few more reactions only.
