Q

How does Prof. Rowan tell us to think of the term glycolysis?

A

“breaking down glucose”
- lysis means cutting up something

Q

What is the rate of ATP production in the glycolysis system?

- slower than ATP-CP
- faster than oxidative

Q

does glycolysis require ATP to happen?

A

yes. two need to be used in glycolysis to produce 4 later. (net: 2)

Q

what happens in the first half (first five) steps of glycolysis?

A

16
Q

after how long does the oxidative system start?

17
Q

if the oxidative system is in effect, are the two other systems not?

A

no. Glycolysis system is still in effect at a slower rate but the ATP-CP system is completely off.

17
Q

what do we need in order for the oxidative system to be efficient?

A

glycolysis system

17
Q

what is the fuel for the oxidative system?

A

fat and carbohydrates. Fat when intensity is low and carbs when intensity is high

18
Q

what type of advantage will someone have if they have more mitochondria?

A

be able to do more aerobic exercise because they will have a higher VO2 max

19
Q

how much ATP is created in the krebs (citric acid) cycle?

20
Q

how much ATP is created in the oxidative phosphorylation cycle?

A

32-34 depending on how much NADH from glycolysis enters into the mitochondria

21
Q

two acetyl-CoA in the krebs cycle produces what?

A

2 ATP, 2 FADH2, 6 NADH which goes into the oxidative phosphorylation (ETC)

22
Q

is O2 present in krebs and the ETC?

23
what happens with NADH and FADH2 in the ETC?
their electrons and hydrogen ions are moving. Hydrogen ions are moving from the matrix into a space where a electrochemical gradient is created and then back down through ATP synthase where ADP and P are packaged into ATP - essentially, the gradient of hydrogen ions and the different in that charge is giving the energy to ADP + P to package it together - it is the energy from the electrochemical gradient and the movement of these hydrogen ions that enables ATP to be produced
