Q

What happens during sustained exercise (aerobic respiration)?

A

initially low ATP in muscles is used up quickly
creatine phosphate can then be used to phosphorylate ADP to replenish ATP (also short term)
Anaerobic respiration can produce limited ATP (net 2 ATP) but also produces lactate
Aerobic respiration must take over again due to lack of ATP and lactate build up
