Chap 9 pt. 3 Flashcards
Aerobic Metabolism
requires O2, 95% of ATP of resting cell
Glycolysis
generates 2 ATP
Glycolysis steps
- Glucose enters cytosol, Phosphate attached
- Second Phosphate attached
- steps 1 and 2 = -2ATP - 6-carbon chain spilt to 3-carbon molecules
- Phosphate attached to each molecule
- one ATP molecule formed from each molecule
- +2 ATP - Atoms rearrange in molecule, releasing water molecule
- Second ATP molecule formed from each molecule
- +2 ATP
Oxidative refers to the
transfer of electrons
Phosphorylation refer to the
generation of ATP
Anaerobic Respiration
glycolysis followed by lactic acid fermentation
Limits on use of Anaerobic respiration
- lower pH
- Depletion
- Damage
- Muscle fatigue
Advantages of aerobic respiration over anaerobic
- no lactic acid produced
- produces 32 ATP/ glucose molecule
Limiting factors on using aerobic respiration
-availability of O2
At rest
fatty acids and glucose used as fuel for ATP
-aerobic
Moderate activity
fatty acids and glucose used as fuel for ATP
-aerobic
Peak Activity
glycolysis produces most of ATP (2/3)
-anaerobic
Muscle Fatigue
muscles fail to contract in spite of receiving stimulation
Psychological fatigue
desire to stop activity due to low blood pH and feeling of pain in brain
fast glycolytic (fast fibres)
