A QuestionQuestion: The major purpose of oxidative metabolism in the human body is to:
A. Provide heat and energy for survival
B. Eliminate toxic chemicals from the bloodstream
C. Stimulate hemoglobin synthesis
D. Balance the pH in the blood
E. Inhibit anaerobic processes
Feedback & Correct AnswerFeedback: Correct Answer: A
Although you may consider all of these things to be important and some of them require energy. The major purpose of oxidizing all food substances is to manufacture heat to keep the body warm and to generate energy (ATP) to drive all of the other energy-requiring processes in the body (motion, transport, biosynthesis).
