25
what muscle fiber types contain the highest concentration of CP?
Type II
26
What product of the adenylate kynase reaction is a powerful stimulant for glycolysis?
AMP
27
what law states that the concentrations of reactants or products in a solution will drive the direction of the reactions?
law of mass action
28
what is glycolysis?
the breakdown of carbohydrate
29
what are the two sources of carbohydrates in glycolysis?
glycogen in the muscle and glucose in the blood
30
what is the end product of glycolysis?
pyruvate
31
the end result of glycolysis may proceed in which two directions?
1. pyruvate to lactate in sarcoplasm | 2. pyruvate to the mitochondria
32
what is fast glycolysis and why is it called that?
pyruvate to lactate, because ATP resynthesis occurs at a faster rate than krebs cycle ATP resynthesis
33
what controls the conversion of pyruvate (determines its fate)
the energy demands of the cell high intensity and quick = convert to lactate low intensity and oxygen is present = krebs cycle
34
the end result of the catylization of pyruvate by lactate dehydrogenase is what?
Lactate (NOT lactic acid)
35
concentration of lactate in muscular tissue causes fatigue (T/F)
F
36
what is responsible for peripheral fatigue that occurs during exercise?
reduction in PH (metabolic acidosis)
37
what is lactate used as especially in type I and cardiac muscle fibers?
an energy substrate
38
what is glucogenesis?
the formation of glucose from non carbohydrate sources
39
how is lactate cleared and buffered from the blood?
through oxidation within the muscle fiber where it was produced, or transported in the blood to other muscle fibers to be oxidized
40
when lactate is transported to the liver what does it become and what is this process called?
glucose, the cori cycle
41
what gets transported alongside pyruvate to the mitochondria?
NADH
42
what is the difference between substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation?
substrate level is the direct resynthesis of ATP from ADP | oxidative level resynthesizes ATP in the electron transport chain
43
what is glycogeneolysis
when muscle glycogen is broken down to glucose
44
what are the two sources of glucose for the hydrolysis of ATP?
blood glucose and muscle glycogen
45
what is the net resynthesis of ATP when glycolysis begins from muscle glycogen?
3
46
what is the net resynthesis of ATP when glycolysis begins from blood glucose?
2
47
what enzyme catalyzes the reaction that converts fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1, 6-biphosphate?
PFK (phosphofructokinase)
48
allosteric inhibition
when an end product binds to the regulatory enzyme and decreases its turnover rate, slowing product formation
49
allosteric activation
when an "activator" binds with the enzyme and increases its turnover rate, speeding up product formation
50
the term given to the slowest step in the overall reaction
rate limiting step
51
what is the rate limiting step in glycolysis?
PFK (phosphofructokinase)
52
there is an increased reliance on what once the lactate threshold is overcome?
anaerobic mechanisms for energy production
53
when does the LT (lactate threshold) typically begin in untrained vs trained individuals?
50-60% of oxygen uptake (untrained) | 70-80% of oxygen uptake (trained)

at what concentration of lactate does the onset of blood lactate accumulation occur?
4mmol/L
55
during prolonged, submaximal, steady state work what is the shift in macronutrient used for energy?

59
what happens to free fatty acids when they enter the mitochondria?
they undergo beta oxidation
60
what are the end products of beta oxidation and where are they transported to?

fats
62
what major amino acids are oxidized in skeletal muscle?
branched chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, valine)

at rest only the oxidative system is used for energy (T/F)
F - never is any one system used for total energy
67
approximately how much glycogen is stored in the bodys total muscle? how much in the liver
