Atp And Carbohydrate Metabolism

Question 1

What does myosin do in the context of movement and energy

Answer 1

It converts free energy change of atp to kinetic energy

Question 2

What is atp

Answer 2

It is a high energy nucleotide with three phosphate groups attached to a ribose sugar

Question 3

What happens with chemical energy in the atp-adp cycle

Answer 3

Chemical energy is released from ATP when it is hydrolysed losing a phosphate group

Question 4

What is a catabolic reaction

Answer 4

Breakdown of primarily carbs and lipids. Exergonic reaction

Question 5

What is an anabolic reaction

Answer 5

Anything that requires energy and an endogonic reaction. The energy of the products is higher than the reactants

Question 6

Describe atp adp cycle during exercise

Answer 6

1. ATP supplies the demand of energy from skeletal muscle and other tissues during exercise
2. The metabolic pathways used to resynthesize ATP vary for different types of exercise

Question 7

What is the concentration of ATP at rest

Answer 7

8 mmol/kg wet weight of muscle

Question 8

Concentration of ATP after maximal exercise

Answer 8

5-6 mmol/kg wet muscle weight

Question 9

What is myo kinase reaction

Answer 9

An anaerobic reaction that maintains ATP during hard exercise
