Question
Chapter 6.2, Problem 1CSC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The way in which cells provide activation energy and control the release of chemical energy to allow the released energy to do work.
Introduction: Ability to do work is known as energy. Energy is transferable from one state to another state. Adenine triphosphate (ATP) is used as energy for all the biological activities.

The most common fatty acid that exists in coconut oil is a fatty acid called lauric acid. This is a 12 carbon saturated (12:0) fatty acid. How many net ATP are produced from the complete oxidation of a single molecule of lauric acid after it enters into a muscle cell? Show steps please
Marathon runners often practice "carb loading" prior to a race. The purpose of this practice is to increase the stores of energy available for muscles to use. Explain how energy is used by muscle fibers and how this practice of "card loading" benefits the runner's muscles. Be sure to use the terms glucose, glycogen, creatine, phosphate, and ATP in the explanation.
The reason you breathe heavily while exercising is that your body is trying to take in oxygen to fuel aerobic respiration and generate enough ATP to replenish the ATP you use during exercise. If you are exercising vigorously, the need for ATP might be greater than the amount of oxygen you can inhale. In this situation, your body cells generate ATP through lactate fermentation. As you continue vigorous exercise, your muscles might begin to "burn," causing you to stop and rest. This burning sensation is the result of a chemical buildup in your muscle cells.
Based on this information, which of the following chemicals likely causes pain in over-exercised muscles?
A. Lactate
B. NADH
C. Ethanol

- Fast-twitch muscle fibers have fewer mitochondria and less myoglobin to store oxygen than slow-twitch muscle fibers. Use this information to predict how energy production differs in these two types of muscle fibers. Fast-twitch fibers rely primarily on aerobic respiration whereas slow- twitch fibers rely on anaerobic respiration. Slow-twitch fibers are able to produce more ATP per glucose molecule than fast-twitch fibers. You would expect to find more lactic acid build-up in slow-twitch fibers rather than fast-twitch fibers.
