Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Energy pathways that depend on oxygen are referred to as:
A
aerobic
B
cyclic
C
anaerobic
D
oxygen-depleted
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The aerobic energy system refers to the combustion of carbohydrates and fats in the presence of oxygen. The anaerobic pathways are capable of regenerating ATP at high rates yet are limited by the amount of energy that can be released in a single bout of intense exercise.

Detailed explanation-2: -ATP is the primary energy source at rest and during low-intensity exercise. It is composed of a ribose sugar backbone, a nitrogen and carbon chain, adenine, and three phosphate molecules. Aerobic metabolic pathways are also referred to as oxidative because of their dependence on O2 to generate ATP.

Detailed explanation-3: -Aerobic means oxygen dependent and aerobic metabolism refers to an energy-generating system under the presence of oxygen as opposed to anaerobic, i.e., oxygen independent metabolism.
