true or false: glycolysis is used when creatine phosphate is depeleted
true or false: glycolysis cannot generate atp as quickly as creatine phosphate

Answers

Answered by GPT-4o mini
1. **True**: Glycolysis splits glucose into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid (pyruvate).

2. **True**: Glycolysis is used when creatine phosphate is depleted. It becomes an important pathway for ATP production, particularly during high-intensity exercise.

3. **True**: Glycolysis cannot generate ATP as quickly as creatine phosphate. The creatine phosphate system provides immediate ATP, while glycolysis is slower in comparison.
