CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
hen the body needs to exercise for a long period of time it generates ATP by carrying out ____
A
glycolysis
B
lactic acid fermentation
C
alcoholic fermentation
D
cellular respiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For exercise longer than about 90 seconds, cellular respiration is the only way to continue generating a supply of ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -During aerobic cellular respiration, glucose reacts with oxygen, forming ATP that can be used by the cell. Carbon dioxide and water are created as byproducts. The overall equation for aerobic cellular respiration is: In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen react to form ATP.

Detailed explanation-3: -One glucose molecule is metabolised to yield 38 ATP molecules during cellular respiration. The electron transport system produces 34 molecules of ATP out of a total of 38 molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration (see chemical reaction below) is a chemical reaction that occurs in your cells to create energy; when you are exercising your muscle cells are creating ATP to contract. Cellular respiration requires oxygen (which is breathed in) and creates carbon dioxide (which is breathed out).
