Conversion of food into biologically usable forms of energy
Bioenergetics
Total of all catabolic and anabolic rxns
Metabolism
Breakdown of large molecules to smaller molecules
Catabolic
Synthesis of large molecules from small molecules
Anabolic
Energy stored in its … is used for muscular growth and activity
Chemical bonds
ATP
TF: Energy released from ATP doesn’t need to be replaced
False
… energy systems exist to replace the energy from ATP
3
Source of ATP for short-term high intensity activities
Phosphagen system
TF: Phosphagen system is active at the start of all exercise regardless of intensity
True
In Phosphagen system … is broken down to replenish ATP
Creatine phosphate
… increases rate of synthesis of ATP from ADP and CP
Creatine Kinase
