Complete Table 2.1 by stating the exact locations, within a muscle cell, of glycolysis, the link reaction, the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.
In a muscle cell, glucose molecules are phosphorylated at the beginning of glycolysis. Suggest why the phosphorylated glucose molecules cannot diffuse out of the cell.
Sometimes an athlete must respire in anaerobic conditions in order to make ATP. Explain why glucose respiration in anaerobic conditions generates less ATP than in aerobic conditions.
For a short period after exercise, a person keeps breathing more deeply than at rest to take in more oxygen than usual. Explain the use of this extra oxygen.
