Exercise Physiology | Fatty Acid Metabolism

The video discusses the entry and metabolism of glucose and fatty acids in skeletal muscle cells. It highlights the efficiency of glucose metabolism compared to fatty acids, explaining the pathways involved in each process. The video also touches on how exercise intensity affects the choice of energy source, with glucose being more efficient at higher intensities.

Explain the role of NADH and FADH2 in the electron transport chain.

What are the implications of the differences in metabolism between glucose and fatty acids?

What is the significance of the TCA cycle in energy metabolism?

How does exercise intensity affect the preferred energy source in muscle cells?
