ATP-PC and LA Flashcards
What types of energy are involved in bioenergetics?
Kinetic, heat and chemical
ATP
Only compound that can be used for energy within the body
Stored within the cells of the tissue
Energy is within the 2nd and 3rd phosphate groups
Energy sources
Carbohydrates > Glucose
Lipids > Fatty acids
Proteins > Amino Acids (only used in starvation)
ATP breakdown
Adenosine triphosphate > ATP broken down by ATPase to Adenosine Diphosphate and phosphate
Cellular respiration
Series of chemical reactions where glucose and oxygen are used to produce ATP (goes to glycolysis, Kreb and ETC)
ATP for chemical work
Glucose to glycogen
Glycerol and fatty acids to TAG
Amino acids to new proteins
ALL BY ATP ENERGY USE
ATP for mechanical work
Muscular contraction occurs due to ATP
ATP for transport work
Movement of potassium and sodium though cell
When is ATP system used?
Fight or flight mechanism, quick energy
Energy systems: Formation of ATP
Phosphocreatine > creatine + phosphate through creatine kinase
ADP + phosphate from creatine join to make ADP and creatine is exreted by kidneys
Where does the breakdown of sugar /ATP-PC system in general happen?
Sarcoplasm in muscle cell
Formation of ATP
Sources of creatine
- Powder
- Salmon
- Meat
- Eggs
Phosphorylation cycle
Turning Phosphocreatine into ATP to make usable energy
PCr through creatine kinase > Phosphate and creatine > ADP and phosphate > ATP
Phosphorylation
Resynthesis of ATP from ADP using phosphocreatine
What happens when PCr has depleted?
Relies on the liver
Glycogenesis to make glucose or break down other sugar (stored in the liver)
Carbohydrates
- Glucose in blood
- Glycogen in muscle and liver
- Glycolysis/oxidative system (2-3000 kcal total)
Fats
- Stored as triglycerides
- Oxidative system (approx. 75,000 calories total)
Protein
- Not a primary energy source for energy production during exercise
When movement begins, ATP is broken down for energy
ATP + Water <– ATPase –> ADP + Pi + Hydrogen
Once ATP is used up…
Creatine phosphate takes over to regenerate more ATP
Creatine phosphate helps regenerate ATP
Quickly reforms ATP from ADP and Pi as the Pi comes from PCr
How many ATP comes from 1 phosphocreatine (PCr)
1
Enzyme used to break apart PCr is…
Creatine kinase
