The rate of demand for energy in the body determines whether the body will use aerobic or
anaerobic cellular respiration. each process has different end products. the end product atp
contributes to energy transfers in the cells by releasing energy when it is needed.
isabella is competing in the 50-meter freestyle and needs fast energy production for about 40
seconds. tyler is running a half marathon and needs slow and steady energy production for
almost two hours. drag the terms to the correct athlete based on which metabolic pathway
their muscle cells will utilize for energy production in their races.
complete breakdown of glucose
anaerobic cellular respiration
traps 2 molecules of atp for each gram of glucose
waste products: h2o, co2
incomplete breakdown of glucose waste products: lactic acid
traps 36 molecules of atp for each gram of glucose
aerobic cellular respiration
isabella: 50-meter freestyle
tyler: half marathon
