Which energy system is the most complex, utilizing substrates and requiring oxygen to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP)?
  1. ATP-PC System
  2. Oxidative System
  3. Glycolysis
  4. The Krebs cycle
Explanation
Answer - B - The oxidative system is the most complex energy system, utilizing substrates and requiring oxygen to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP). In total, there are three oxidative processes necessary to generate ATP. All of these processes require oxygen and, therefore, are referred to as aerobic processes. The ATP-PC and glycolysis systems are anaerobic processes and do not require oxygen to produce ATP.
