A scientist studies two samples of flight muscle cells from a bird. Each sample respires for one minute.
| Sample | Oxygen available | Amount of glucose broken down (μmol) | ATP yield (μmol of ATP per μmol of glucose) |
|---|---|---|---|
| K | yes | 8.0 | 30 |
| L | no | 120 | 2.0 |
Calculate the amount of ATP made by each sample during the minute.
Predict whether carbon dioxide would be released by each sample. Explain your answer.
