- if work is continued anaerobically
- GLYCOLYSIS
- PYRUVIC ACID
- partially broken down by phosphofructokinase
- 2 ATP produced
- GLUCOSE
- GLYCOGEN
- PYRUVIC ACID
- partially broken down by phosphofructokinase
- 2 ATP produced
- GLUCOSE
- Advantages
- ATP can be regenerated quickly due to few chemical reactions being needed
- lactic acid is converted back into glycogen (with O2 present)
- Disadvantages
- only a small amount of energy is released from glycogen while under anaerobic conditions
- lactic acid is a by-product of this system
- GLYCOGEN
