ATP generation

Question 1

Three methods of ATP generation

Answer 1

1) Creatine phosphate pathway
2) Anaerobic Respiration
3) Aerobic Respiration

Question 2

Purpose of creatine phosphate pathway

Answer 2

Generates a small amount of ATP to constantly maintain muscle tone and prevent atrophy

Question 3

Anaerobic respiration method

Answer 3

Sugar is broken down without the use of oxygen

Question 4

Anaerobic respiration purpose

Answer 4

Gives a small amount of ATP rapidly

Question 5

What is anaerobic respiration useful for?

Answer 5

Contractions of high intensity and short duration

Question 6

Characteristics of muscles that use anaerobic respiration:

Answer 6

Light in color
have less mitochondria
Have fewer blood vessels

Question 7

Byproduct of anaerobic respiration

Answer 7

Lactic Acid accumulates in the muscle and bloodstream

Question 8

Lactic acid causes

Answer 8

Breathing rates and depths to increase

Contributes to soreness and fatigue

Question 9

Why does lactic acid affect breathing rates?

Answer 9

Cause the pH of the brain to decrease

Question 10

Aerobic Respiration method

Answer 10

Uses sugar (preferably glucose) and oxygen

Question 11

Aerobic respiration purpose

Answer 11

Generates higher amounts of ATP that is good for long lasting contractions

Question 12

Characteristics of muscles that use aerobic respiration

Answer 12

Have high amounts of blood vessels and mitochondria

Have high amounts of myoglobin

Muscle is a darker color
