Chapter 12, Problem 33E

Summary Introduction

To explain:

The reason why the given statement is not true − ‘Glycolysis under anaerobic conditions provides approximately 5% of the energy that could be produced under aerobic conditions. Thus, one might assume that anaerobic exercises (such as weight training) would be a better way to lose weight that aerobic exercises.’

Introduction:

Though glycolysis under anaerobic conditions produces calories less efficiently in comparison to aerobic conditions and would apparently be a better way to burn out fat and shed the body weight, it is not completely true.
