Gce Model Questions Vol1 2017 Biology Question 31
Practice objective / multiple choice question 31 from the 2017 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Biology examination.
An active muscle cell must produce \(1500\) µmol of ATP each minute. It can obtain ATP by aerobic respiration, which yields \(30\) ATP per molecule of glucose and consumes \(6\) molecules of \(O_{2}\), or by anaerobic glycolysis, which yields \(2\) ATP per molecule of glucose and uses no \(O_{2}\). The measured \(O_{2}\) consumption of the cell is \(12\) µmol min\(^{-1}\). Assuming the cell meets its ATP demand solely by these two pathways, calculate how many µmol of glucose are metabolised aerobically and how many µmol are metabolised anaerobically each minute.
