Unstressed, human skeletal muscle preferentially utilizes aerobic fatty acid oxidation for energy. With regard to ATP/fuel molecule efficiency, why would this make sense over anaerobic glycogenolysis? A. None of the above B. Muscle uses only glucose so this logic does not apply. C. Muscle cells receive much more energy from aerobic fatty acid oxidation (48 ATP per 6 carbon unit) than from anaerobic glycogenolysis (about 3 ATP per 6 carbon unit).
