Aerobic Respiration
In regards to energy for muscles…what is the difference between stored ATP, direct phosphorylation, aneaerobic mechanism, aerobic respiration?
out of all 65 questions on my study guide, I just can’t figure out the answer to this one! Can anyone give me a brief description of this??

Ahem….
Stored ATP: Phosphates are taken directly off the ATP to produce energey. (ATP’s have 3 phosphates and the bond of the last phosphate is broken to produce energy). It is the quickest source of energy.
Aneaerobic mechanism is another quick source of energy. When you run as fast as you can and you feel the burn in your legs. That is a product of aneaerobic mechanism called latic acid. It takes NADH (product of breaking glucose), and pyuvic acid (another product), to form lactic acid, and NAD+ which is more energy.
Aerobic respiration is the longest source of energy.
It goes through the krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain.
If I were to explain this process, it would probably take me 500 words.
SOOOO
to anwser your question
Stored ATP’s and aneaerobic mechanism are all sources of quick energy. Aneaerobic resperation however produces latic acid. Aerobic respiration is for long term energy, and it takes a long time to harvest.
PS I’m sorry I couldn’t say anything about direct phosphorylation, I even looked online and I couldn’t find anything. My GUESS (don’t beilieve me if you don’t want) is that Direct phosphorylation is when ADP’s are transformed to ATP’s.
