Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the aerobic pathway of carbohydrate metabolism, glucose is metabolized with the aid of oxygen and produces ATP slowly, but muscular activity can be sustained for many hours. This is because oxygen allows for the complete breakdown of glucose, resulting in a greater yield of ATP compared to anaerobic metabolism. Fatty acids do become a predominant fuel during long-duration activities, but this is not specific to the aerobic pathway of carbohydrate metabolism. CO₂ is not a relevant factor in this process.
