Question

What is the importance of having our bodies use multiple fuel sources to maintain cellular respiration and keep generating ATP. ? Your answer must be a minimum of 3 sentences.

Definition Definition Set of metabolic processes and reactions that produce energy from organic substances such as glucose. Cellular respiration takes place in the organism’s cells, where the chemical energy from nutrients or molecules of oxygen is converted into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Cellular respiration that occurs in the presence of oxygen is called aerobic respiration; in the absence of oxygen, it is called anaerobic respiration.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Constant supply of the energy is required by the human body;to perform most of the work ;movements in the body and to perform certain other important metabolic functions.

ATP(Adenosine triphosphate) ;which is also known as the energy currency of the cell;is the major energy carrier molecule.For the production of this ATP molecule;the energy is required ;and this energy is obtained from the food.;which is rich in complex molecules.
