Immediate source of energy is -

A
Corps cycle
B
HMP
C
ATP
D
TCA cycle
High-Yield Explanation
Ans. is 'c' i.e., ATP o There are three energy systems to provide energy for muscular activities.Immediate energy system : Energy is provided by stored ATP and creatine phosphate.Anaerobic glycolytic system (lactic acid system) : Energy is generated by utilization of glucose or glycogen by anaerobic glycolysis. This energy is also generated early.Aerobic or oxidative system : Energy is generated by utilization of glucose/glycogen, and fatty acids through oxidative pathways, e.g. TCA cycle.o These three energy systems operate as a continuum: each system is always functioning, even at rest,o What varies is the relative contribution each system makes to total ATP production at any given time.
