MCAT Question of the Day


  • Q:

    Muscle fibers come in two generic types: fast twitch and slow twitch. Fast twitch fibers contract quickly and fatigue quickly as well - they rely mainly on glycolytic mechanisms for energy production. Slow twitch muscle relies upon aerobic activity for energy. Which of the following metabolytes would not be expected to be produced in fast twitch muscle metabolism?

     

    A

    Pyruvate

    B

    ADP
