What determines which energy system predominates during exercise?

• The type of sport

• The intensity and duration of the activity

• The athlete's diet

• The time of day

Answer explanation

The intensity and duration of the activity are key factors that determine which energy system is used during exercise. Higher intensity and longer duration activities engage different energy pathways.

What is the primary role of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the body?

• To store genetic information

• To capture and release chemical energy

• To transport oxygen in the blood

• To build muscle tissue

Answer explanation

The primary role of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is to capture and release chemical energy, which is essential for various cellular processes. It serves as the main energy currency in the body.
