Unit 6.2 Making ATP- (CRTB HW 14)
Students are expected to
-Given a scenario describing aerobic metabolism, the student describes how fatty acids are used to create
adenosine triphosphate.
-The student identifies the differences between anaerobic and aerobic metabolism.
Learning Objectives
-Describe how sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids are used to create adenosine triphosphate through the
process of aerobic metabolism.

*Pay attention to page 73 of the course material to get a big-picture view of metabolism. and to note the
'Ins and Outs' of various pathways.
Important to review these documents on Triglyceride metabolism, also available on page 84 of the course
materials
This document describes the breaking of the triglycerides

Similar to how glucose can be used to produce ATP, triglycerides (fats) can also be used to
produce ATP via aerobic respiration.

What is the overall purpose of anaerobic metabolism (Cori cycle) - why does the pathway
occur? Be sure to read this article: https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/review?
uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:71317c3e-33ca-43dc-9fc4-c2d89d56108e on Anaerobic Respiration and
the Cori Cycle
(1 Point)
Anaerobic metabolism is the creation of energy through the combustion of carbs in the absence of
oxygen. It occurs when your lungs cannot pull enough oxygen into the blood to keep up with the needs
of energy from the muscles.
