Aerobic Energy Systems

Question 1

how many phosphates are there in triphosphate?

Answer 1

3

Question 2

energy is released when ATP is broken down, and is required to resynthesis it.
resynthese means:

Answer 2

to rebuild/remake/make again

Question 3

if 02 is used in a process/energy system it is called

Answer 3

aerobic energy system

Question 4

if 02 is not used in a process it is called

Answer 4

anaerobic energy system

Question 5

when we eat our food (6 classes of food) what does;
carbs turn into
fats turn into
protein turn into

Answer 5

carbs-glucose
fats- fatty acids + glycerol
protein- amino acids

they all then enter the blood stream

glucose dissolves into the blood plasma and circulates around the body in the blood system. any excess glucose that enters the blood following digestion of a meal may be stored in muscles and liver as glycogen.
when these are full, any excess is converted into fat droplets and stored in adipose tissue

Question 6

what is glycogen?

Answer 6

store of glucose

Question 7

what is adipose tissue?

Answer 7

special tissue made up of cells in which fats are stored, mainly found under the skin and surrounding major organs

Question 8

what are triglycerides?

Answer 8

main form of stored fat, used as an energy source

Question 9

LIVER readily converts:

. less readily converts:

Answer 9

LIVER readily converts glucose into fat

LIVER less readily converts into glycogen

Question 10

how much energy comes from fats (at rest?)

Answer 10

1/2 to 2/3

ratio alters when we exercise- strength/time

Question 11

up to what % of our energy demands may be met through protein breakdown?

Answer 11

up to 10%

Question 12

what is glucose?

Answer 12

the main form of carbohydrate found in the body, dissolves in blood plasma, used as an energy source
