Basics Flashcards
What is ATP?
the chemical energy that we need to do work/muscle contraction
How much ATP does the average person turn over a day?
200 kg
What are the Macronutrients talked about in lecture?
CHOs, Amino acids, and Lipids
What are macronutrients needed for?
to generate energy to conduct work…building blocks to make ATP
what are metabolic pathways controlled by?
enyzme availibility, energy needs of muscle cell, temp, and PH
What happens when reduction happens?
we gain electrons and GAIN ENERGY
what happens when oxidation happens?
we loose electrons which causes us TO LOOSE ENERGY
imortant ox/redox compounds and what they do
-NAD+/NADH
-FAD/FADH2
transport H+ to mitochondria to generate ATP aerobiclly (with O2)
Names of the 3 energy systems
1.Immediate system
2.Glycolytic system
3. Mitochondrial respiration
All energy systems get used at once and there is NEVER a time where only one energy system is being used at one time
TRUE!

proton
We only have a few grams of ATP stored at a gived time
TRUE
