### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Respiration**: - Aerobic respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen and yields a higher amount of ATP (approximately 36-38 ATP molecules per glucose molecule). - Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen and yields a lower amount of ATP (only 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule). 2. **Energy Demand in Human Muscles**: - During intense physical activities, human muscles require a significant amount of energy to function effectively. ...
