8.1 Energy Systems

Question 1

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

Answer 1

Only usable form of energy in the body

Question 2

Glycolysis

Answer 2

Process in which glucose is converted to pyruvate to produce energy

Question 3

Sacroplasm

Answer 3

Fluid that surrounds the nucleus of a muscle fibre

Site where anaerobic respiration takes place

Question 4

Kerbs cycle

Answer 4

Series of cyclical chemical reactions that take place using oxygen

In the matrix of the mitochondrion

Question 5

Electron transport chain

Answer 5

Series of chemical reactions in the cristae of mitochondria

Where hydrogen is oxidised to water and 34 ATP are produced

Question 6

Phosphocreatine (PC)

Answer 6

Energy rich phosphate compound found in the sacroplasm of the muscles

Question 7

Anaerobic

Answer 7

Reaction that can occur without oxygen

Question 8

Coupled reaction

Answer 8

When energy required by 1 process is supplied by another process

Question 9

Anaerobic glycolytic system

Answer 9

Produces high powered energy for high intensity effort in events such as 400m
