Question

For the following scenario. Select ALL that apply.: What will happen to levels of ATP production in a muscle cell of an individual that stops consuming carbohydrates and other sources of sugar in his diet?

ATP production levels will drop to zero and the cell will die.

ATP production levels will rise because the cell will use fat to make ATP. Fat has a lot more energy than carbohydrates.

ATP production levels will drop dramatically. Cell will have to import glucose from other cells.

ATP production will likely remain the same as the cell can use other compunds that feed into glycolysis and citric acid cycle.

ATP production will stay the same over a short time until all glycogen storage granules are depeleted and then ATP production will stop.

ATP production levels will drop to zero and the cell will die.

Explanation / Answer

Monosaccharide glucose molecules are the innediate source of energy for muscle cells but the protein and fat are long term reserves. In the abscence of glucose, muscle cells make energy by protein and fat catabolism. In the given case, the person is taking other sources of food, both protein and carbohydrates produce more energy upon their degradation. Thus, the correct options are
