What fuel can be used to re-generate adenosine triphosphate aerobically?

Answer 1

To produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), you must consume sugar. This isn't meaning going out and eating a ton of marshmellows. There are two types of sugar: simple and complex. Simple sugars is what is commonly referred to as 'sugar.' This is the bad kind. It will give you quick energy (by producing ATP), then make you crash after a little bit of time. Complex sugars are your carbs. They take longer to break down, so they give you energy over a long period of time. That is the best way to produce ATP, which is why athletes are told to eat a lot of pasta and other carbs the week before major tournaments.

Answer 2

Aerobic metabolism utilizes glucose (derived from carbohydrates), fatty acids (derived from fats), and amino acids (derived from proteins) as fuel to regenerate adenosine triphosphate (ATP). These nutrients are broken down through a series of biochemical reactions in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP in the mitochondria of cells.
