CARB ENERGY Flashcards
energy
dynamic state i.e. mech work, chem, electrical
ability to produce energy determines exercise capacity
metabolism
sum of all chem rxns in body…breakdown and syntehsis
caratbolism vs anabolism
catabolism: molecule breakdown
anabolism: molecule synthesis
bioenergenics
converting food into usable energy
ATP
adenine and ribose
- adenosine triphosphate
lots of energy held w/in bonds
supplied by anabolic metabolism
why don’t we store much ATP
normal ATP storage is 80-100g when we produce 25kg/day
cannot sustainably gain/lose the weight
limited stores bcs extremely heavy
enzymes
protein molecules that catalyze rxns
SPEED up not cause
in metabolism, regulate the catabolism/breakdown of compounds to produce energy
oxidation vs reduction
oxidation: lose electron, more positive
reduction: gain electron
factors that effect enzyme effectiveness
- cofactor: inorganic non-protein component i.e. Mg
- called coenzyme if organic ie. NAD - substrate concentration: amt and available…can become saturated
- modulator: stim or inhibits i.e. hormones
- temperature: falls apart when too high away from ideal
- ph: lose function away from optimal…acidity more impact
- enzyme concentration: more enzyme = faster
types of enzyme competition
competitive: molecules compete for binding sites
- prevent desired rxn from happening
non-competitive: molecule binds to non-binding site and causes conformational change
feedback inhibition: the products of the rxn inhibit production
- says to slow down
enzyme activity: how likely enzyme is to catalyze rxn
oxidase
catalyzes oxidation-reduction rxns involving o2
kinase
transfers phosphate group
phosphorylation
phosphorylase
adds Pi
dehydrogenase
removes H
phosphatase
removes phosphate group
2 factors impacting energy production
- total energy demand
- rate of demand
these factors are coupled
