Why does the amount of ATP produced in skeletal muscle differ from the amount produced in other tissues?
A) Skeletal muscle is more efficient than other tissues in the production of ATP.
B) Skeletal muscle transfers electrons via FAD while other tissues use NAD.
C) Skeletal muscle completely oxidizes carbohydrates while other tissues do not.
D) Skeletal muscle has fewer rate-limiting enzymes than do other tissues.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Skeletal muscle transfers electrons via FAD while other tissues use NAD. This difference in electron transfer leads to a higher amount of ATP produced in skeletal muscle.

Answer: A, B, C, D
 The energy systems can be ordered from slowest to fastest in the following order: oxidative phosphorylation of fat, oxidative phosphorylation of carbohydrate, creatine phosphate, and anaerobic glycolysis. However, it is important to note that all of these systems are activated at different times during exercise and work together to provide energy to the body.
