ATP Flashcards
ATP Demand
The body especially the muscle depends on a constant rate of ATP supply by the mitochondria to meet the demand of ATP
Anabolism
Involves the covalent bonding of electrons, protons, and small molecules to produce larger molecules
Pathways of energy metabolism
Mitochondria fat (being the least) Mitochondria CHO (second least) (Both of those are related to oxidation) Glycolytic (nonoxidation) (second most) Phosphagen (the most)
Steady-state
Sub-maximal workload at which oxidation phosphorylation (muscle respiration) provides majority of ATP supply.
EPOC
Excess post-ex O2 consumption (EPOC)
• Post-exercise, metabolism does not immediately return to rest
Metabolic transient
Non-steady-state workloads at which non-oxidation metabolism has greater role towards ATP supply.
Catabolism
The breakdown of energy yielding substrates to supply ATP to fuel muscle contraction and the release of energy and electrons in their coupled transfer to intermediary molecules (eg. ATP, NADH + H)
ATP hydrolysis
The yields a lot of the energy and is what powers muscle contraction. Exergonic reaction
Metabolism
The breakdown of fat and carbohydrates in the muscle at the S1 head of myosin where ATP is consumed.
ATP supply depends on what reaction?
Endergonic reaction
What are the physiological measures during steady-state?
Heart rate and VO2 that are relatively constant during exercise.
Heart rate will increase, there is 2-3 minute where the heart will level off this is steady -state because the bulk of energy from the aerobic respiration
- If you don’t change the intensity of exercise, you don’t change you go for demand, therefore HR, VO2, etc will maintain steady-state.
And fat/CHO use during s-state exercise
What Elevated during EPOC?
Blood flow/HR/Temp
Lactate
RER (burning of fat)
What needs to be restored during EPOC?
m. glycogen
PCr stores
Regrow m protein w/ RT
Role of phosphagen system in energy metabolism
The phosphagen system is a form of anaerobic metabolism. It uses creatine phosphate to generate ATP. Small amount of ATP but the fastest supply of ATP
What is glycolysis? And what does it help maintain?
Pathway that is outside of the mitochondria in the cytosol that generates ATP supply. It maintains sustained high-intensity exercise of the second fastest supply of ATP
