Answer

The availability of an adequate supply o ATP depends on the supply of oxygen, and the supply o organix fuels glycogen , glucose and fatty acids. The two main sources o ATP synthesis are anaerobic fermantation and aerobic respiration.

Work Step by Step

Aerobic respiration and Anaerobic fermentation Aerobic respiration needs a continual supply o oxygen; it does not generate lactic acid waste. Best o all it produces more Atp (X30) than anaerobic respiration The fuel used in aerobic respiration is preferably glucose but in resting muscles most ATP is generated using fatty acids as the fuel. Anaerobic fermentation enables the production of ATP without the need or oxygen, but the yield o ATP is low , and the Lactic acid produced contributes to muscle atigue.
