Summary Introduction

To review:

Changes in the CAC (citric acid cycle) due to ATP (adenosine triphosphate) exhaustion in the contracting muscle.

Introduction:

Glucose or carbohydrate is a great source of energy, but this energy is produced in three steps in case of an organism who respire in presence of oxygen. These three steps are glycolysis, CAC, and ETC (electron transport chain). Every glucose molecule goes through these steps and gives rise to 38 molecules of ATP, which are used by the muscles during running or walking or exercises.
