Ch. 2 Bioenergetics of Exercise and Training Flashcards
bioenergetics
the flow of energy in a biological system, concerns primarily the conversion of macronutrients(carbs, proteins, and fats which contain chemical energy) into biologically usuable forms of energy
energy
the ability or capacity to perform work
the three basic systems that replenish ATP
the phosphagen system, glycolysis, the oxidative system
what powers muscular activity?
the energy stored in the chemical bonds of adenosine triphophate
phosphagen stystem
provides ATP primarily for short-term, high-intensity activites
What type of fibers have higher concentrations of Creatine Phosphate?
Type II, fast twitch
catabolism
the breakdown of large molecules into smaller molecules, associated with the release of energy
anabolism
the synthesis of larger molecules from smaller molecules, its accomplished using the energy from catabolic reactions
Exergonic reactions
energy releasing reactions
Endergonic reactions
require energy and include anabolic processes and the contraction of muscles
metabolism
the total of all the catabolic/exergonic and anabolic/endergonic reactions in a biological system
ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
an intermediate molecule, allows the transfer of energy from exergonic to endergonic reactions
hydrolysis
the breakdown of one molecule of ATP to yield energy
ATPase (adenosinetriphosphatase)
an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP
myosin ATPase
the enzyme that catalyzes ATP hydrolysis for cross-bridge recycling
ADP (adenosine diphosphate)
2 phosphates
AMP (adenosine monophoshpate)
1 phosphate
anaerobic
processes that dont require oxygen
aerobic
processes that depend on oxygen
creatine phosphate (CP)
also known as phosphocreatine (PCr)
Creatine kinase
the enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of ATP from CP and ADP
