Question

A resting muscle generates most of its ATP by:
a. hydrolysis of creatine phosphate
b. aerobic metabolism of fatty acids
c. glycolysis
d. fermentation of pyruvic acid to lactic acid
e. the formation of glycogen

Answer 1

Answer:

a. hydrolysis of creatine phosphate

Explanation:

Most of the ATP is generated via the hydrolysis of creatine phosphate

because ,  ATP is involved in the allosteric regulation of many reactions , the  muscles store energy in phosphate bonds of creatine phosphate which is used to phosphorylate ADP in a relaxed state to generate ATP . Aerobic and anaerobic respiration generate ATP during exercise or activated state of the muscle .
