22
Q

the adenylate kinase (or myokinase) reaction

A

an important single-enzyme reaction that can rapidly replenish ATP

23
Q

law of mass action

A

states that the concentration of reactants or products in solution will drive the direction of the reactions

24
Q

near-equilibrium reactions

A

proceed in a direction dictated by the concentrations of the reactants due to the law of mass actions

25
Q

pyruvate

A

the end result of glycolysis, can be converted to lactate, can be shuttles into the mitochondria

26
Q

anaerobic glycolysis (fast glycolysis)

A

process where pyruvate is converted to lactate, ATP resynthesizes as a faster rate, but is limited in duration

27
Q

aerobic glycolysis (slow glycolysis)

A

when pyruvate is shuttled into the mitochondria to undergo the Krebs cycle, the ATP resythesizes slower, but can occur for a longer duration if the exercise intensity is low enough

28
Q

lactate

A

comes from pyruvate, catalyzed by the enzyme lacate dehydrogenase

29
Q

metabolic acidosis

A

the process of an exercise-induce decrease in pH

30
Q

wet muscle

A

muscle that has not been desiccated

31
Q

Cori cycle

A

the process by which lactate is transported in the blood to the liver, where it is converted to glucose

32
Q

mitochondria

A

specialized cellular organelles where the reactions of aerobic metabolism occur

33
Q

phosphorylation

A

the process of adding an inorganic phosphate to another molecule (ADP->ATP)

34
Q

oxidative phosphorylation

A

the resynthesis of ATP in the electron transport chain

35
Q

substrate level phosphorylation

A

describes the direct resynthesis of ATP from ADP during a single reaction in the metabolic pathways

36
Q

Allosteric inhibition

A

occurs when an end product binds to the regulatory enzyme and decreases its turnover rate and slows product formation

37
Q

allosteric activation

A

occurs when an “activator” binds with the enzyme and increases its turnover rate

38
Q

lactate threshold (LT)

A

the exercise intensity or relative intensity at which blood lactate begins an abrupt increase above the baseline concentration

39
Q

onset of blood lactate accumulation (OBLA)

A

the second increase in the rate of lactate accumulation has been noted at higher relative intensities of exercise

40
Q

oxidative system

A

the primary source of ATP at rest and during low-intesnity activities, uses primarily carbs and fats as substrates

41
Q

Krebs cycle

A

a series of reactions that continues the oxidation of the substrate begun in glycolysis and produces two ATP indireclty from guanine triphospahte via substrate-level phosphorylation for each molecule of glucose

42
Q

electron transport chain (ETC)

A

uses NADH and FADH2 molecules to rephopsorylate ADP to ATP

43
Q

beta oxidation

A

a series of reactions in which the free fatty acids are broken down, resulting in the formation of acetyl-CoA and hydrogen protons

44
Q

branched-chain amino acids

A

(leucine, isoleucine, and valine) they are the major amino acids that are oxidized in skeletal muscle

45
Q

A

postexercise oxygen uptake

53
Q

interval training

A

a method that emphasizes bioenergetic adaptions for a more efficient energy transfer within the metabolic pathways by using predetermined intervals of exercise and rest periods

54
Q

combination training

A

cross-training, when aerobic endurance training is added to anaerobic training to enhance recovery because recovery relies primarily on aerobic mechanisms
