ATP Flashcards
Primary Source of ATP in Aerobic Metabolism
Carbohydrates
Fatty acids and protein can also be used
Primary energy source during low intensity activity
Fatty Acids
Low intensity activity, long period of time
Fat reserves in the body being almost unlimited
___ represents 80% of the final product of cabohydrate digestion
glucose
Glucose, after absorption into the cells, it can be used _____, or stored in the form of
immediately; glycogen
Energy derived from food without using oxygen
Anaerobic
Energy derived from food by oxidative metabolism
Aerobic
Under Anaerobic conditions, ____ are the only significant source of energy
Carbohydrates
____ best source of energy under anaerobic conditions because it is already phosphorylated
Gylcogen
Whereas glucose must be phosphorylated a step requiring expenditure of energy
true
_____ energy is used during strenuous burst of activity
Anaerobic
_____ processes are too slow to provide the energy required for a burst activity
Oxidative processes
Energy burst myst be supplied from
- ATP present in the cells
- Phosphocreatine
- Glycolytic breakdown of glycogen to lactic
____ is the source of energy for all muscle contraction
ATP
_____ carries a high energy bond similar to that of ATP but has more free energy
Phosphocreatine
