Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The rate of ATP production and the amount of ATP produced by each of the three energy systems is different. Which of the following is true for the aerobic energy system?
A
Fast rate, high yield
B
Slow rate, low yield
C
Fast rate, low yield
D
Slow rate, high yield
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The aerobic system produces far more ATP than either of the other energy systems but it produces the ATP much more slowly, therefore it cannot fuel intense exercise that demands the fast production of ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -Phosphagen. This system uses creatine phosphate (CP) and has a very rapid rate of ATP production.
