Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pathway that provides the majority of the ATP for working muscle has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Adenosine triphosphate is regarded as the energy currency of all cells. It is nucleotide that consists of ribose sugar attached to adenine base via N-glycosidic linkage between $\text{N-9}$ of adenine and $\text{C-1}\text{'}$ ribose. The hydroxyl group at $\text{C-5}\text{'}$ position is attached to the phosphate, and hence it is named as triphosphate.

Components of ATP nucleotide are illustrated as follows:
